This is the TurnOneThoughtseize take on Abbot of Keral Keep in a Grixis Delver shell. We ditch a lot of the counter magic for hand discard to protect our creatures. We play a lot of 1 mana spells to make Abbot as consistent and powerful as possible, and quickly kill our opponent.

For a more budget friendly option you can get the price down quickly with these changes: +1 Polluted Delta +1 Bloodstained Mire +1 Sulfur Falls +1 Bloodcrypt +2 Gurmag Angler -4 scalding tarn -2 Snapcaster Mage

SB: +3 Molten Rain -3 Fulminator Mage

Savings: ~$475 on 8/21/15
