Seeing no decks of the sort, I decided to make an Abzan deck focused around Bolster and cards dealing with +1/+1 counters, such as Abzan Battle Priest and Mer-Ek Nightblade . This deck has many options, making this versatile and not dependent on one good combo (Hardened Scales excluded). Life-gain is another theme of the deck, fueled by Arashin Cleric , a great target for Bolster effects. An Honor's Reward leaves you with 27 life and a 4/7; Cached Defenses nets you a 5/8.
