Great deck. It's just that I was expect a bit more. My deck (Abzan Mentors) beat your deck 8-2. But it is such a great strategic deck. +1. It took me a long time to beat it and it beat like about 9 of my most powerful decks( besides Abzan Mentors). I have all these cards and I added nyxthos. Nyxthos actually helped me place a lot of cards that almost beat me 6-4 (Mine-Yours). Nyxthos could be good for this deck. This deck can put up w great and long challenge. Great deck. +1

If I may ask, why no Duress?

Despise is a no?

+1 for something different in a meta that has a lot of different decks already.

Despise fits the deck but might be a bit redundant. You still need most of the other stuff. Maybe cut a few Sign in Blood's but you probably don't need the extra despises IMO...

Popalofiti Duress isn't standard legal.

Oh, now I just feel stupid. XD

@JakeHarlow You were right, the deck needed Despise! The Thoughtseize just weren't enough to control the early game. Also added 4x Fate Unraveler which has proven key against lifegain-rich Abzan decks. Check out the updated list.

Really liking this a ton! Glad the Despise is working for you.

New card spoiled Dark Deal, the Waste Not deck is significantly stronger with this card.

You should add a couple of board wipes just in case you're up against an aggro deck. Maybe a Crux of Fate or 2 would help your odds more.

this looks really cool and fun, but I think two cards you should consider are Nighthowler and Risen Executioner. +1

SirFowler Against aggro decks, I think Drown in Sorrow would be far more relevant than Crux of Fate.

kameenook That's true

I'm just curious but why Rakshasa's Secret over Mind Rot? Both sorcery speed, both 2B, same effect, only Rakshasa's makes you self mill, unless the self mill is relevant and I've missed why.

Oh, upon further review I've come to the conclusion that I am an idiot. It's relevant because it fuels Delve. Carry on winning and ignore me.
