This deck is designed as a final hurrah for Hardened Scales

The idea is to get Hardened Scales out early so that cards like Hangarback Walker, Woodland Wanderer, Managorger Hydra and Avatar of the Resolute are massive threats (with trample).

The deck runs well without hardened scales, but it may be worth mulligan-ing to 6 to start with a Hardened Scales in your hand. With it on the field, Servant of the Scale is a 2/2 for that dies and gives another creature +3/+3. Ideally, turn 4 or turn 5 you get a Woodland Wanderer out there that is a 7/7 or 8/8 with vigilance and trample for 4, if you have access to multiple colors via the khans 3-colored lands.

now if you get 2 Hardened Scales out, the deck is almost unstoppable. Imagine having having a Managorger Hydra with 2 Hardened Scales out. Then you could play Dromoka's Command to destroy a creature and give the hydra +6/+6 for 2 MANA! not to mention how huge the Hangarback Walker threat is with it out there (tap for +3/+3!)


Cards that I am unsure about, and would like advice on...

  • Land base -- The land is multicolored to support insane Woodland Wanderers, however this slows things down, making it more susceptible to burn and RG aggro/landfall
  • Anafenza, the Foremost -- it is hard to keep this deck from being Abzan Aggro

This is logging my old deck and colors This deck is designed as a modification of abzan aggro that takes advantage of large green creatures that have +1/+1 counters on them.

Cards that I am unsure about, and would like advice on...

Siege Rhino -- yes, it is an amazing card, but am I splashing too much for it that doesn't nessecerily add to my deck schema? Abzan Falconer -- currently a 1 of due to space, but it is a finisher, should it be 2x or 3x? Servant of the Scale -- can be really useful, UNDER THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES, it is crazy with Hardened Scales and another creature, but is that too much set up for a 1/1 for 1? Also I'm not certain on the land distribution or the amount of removal I'm running...
