Modifying off of my original Modern WB aristocrats deck found here: https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/03-03-19-wb-aristocrats/

With the updates from Modern Horizons I'm looking at dabbling into either a to go deeper into the CoCo combo potential.

The changes for the Abzan deck were slightly based off of this list: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/much-abrew-abzan-aristocrats-modern

There's a heavy amount of tweaking done based on a list I found here: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/abzan-rally-rally-combo-deck/

My game plan involves digging for the rally combo and using it to edge out a win. I don't run the Saffi combo in the above list, in favor of some more consistency of my payoff cards and Collected Company

Update: currently testing Eladamri's Call over CoCo. Swapped out 1 Viscera Seer for an addition Carrion Feeder. Swapped out a cutthroat for a 4th E-Witness. While sometimes the deck is slower it is more consistent. CoCo variant goldfishes between turns 3 and 8. This variant goldfishes between 3-6.

Updates Add

Overall Having a huge upgrade to manabase:

Overhauled to focus on BG early game

Restructuring to be more combo-centric:

Removed removal from the mainboard to make room for combo pieces. Game 1 is all about winning as fast as possible. Game 2 can become more grindy if needed.

Replacing the Doomed travler s with a playset of Satyr Wayfinder. This deck doesn't care about the double bodies from doomed traveler as much as my WB variant does, Instead I'd rather fill my yard for an impactful Rally.

Removed Return to the Ranks for a fourth Rally the Ancestors, I never liked casting Return.

Added an additional Eternal Witness because that card is great at enabling back-to-back Rally's if one ends up in the yard.

Added 2 additional Voice of Resurgence to the sideboard because the value is great. I'm testing 2 Vesperlark in the mainboard. The voices will get moved there if vesperlark ends up being a dud.

Added 1 Noble Hierarch I'd like to throw in more but I'm unsure what to cut to make room.

MH1 Tests:

I've removed the Cartel Aristocrats in favor of 1x Carrion Feeder and a fourth Viscera Seer. My turn 2 is usually a blood artist variant or a wayfinder or a 1 drop & 2 drop if I landed a dork turn 1.

In addition my sideboard is testing out Giver of Runes.
