This is my Anafenza, the Foremost deck. When I got her in the prerelease I thought she might have the potential to be a cool general. I had seen some people play with the other abzan colored generals (Ghave, Karador) and I thought that Ana could be a breath of fresh air. My playgroup is rife with graveyard decks and her ability to shut them down really made me give her a good hard look.

I included a small but powerful knight recursion theme. I stole this idea from a guy I played with who had a Teneb deck. Since I already had the survival, Fauna Shaman, and mindless automoton, as well as Greater Good, I figured it would be easy to get Haakon, Stromgald Scourge into the grave. Once you have him there Nameless Inversion and Crib Swap become immensely more powerful. On top of that, Knight Exemplar makes your army immortal if you manage to get out Conspiracy . I included some longshot cards to make this knight theme possibly go completely insane. Ashes of the Fallen makes every creature in your graveyard recurrable with Haakon out. If you manage to get this combo you are going to have a hard time losing.

I'm sure there's lots of fun stuff you can do with Anafenza. This is the direction I took her in and it has worked out, kinda sorta (though there are a few clunky plays in the list). I look forward to your comments and suggestions.
