Since the start of the Khans block I've been playing Abzan Midrange with middling success. My friends are used to it by now, so let's see if we can catch them off guard a bit. This deck is all about playing creatures heavy in value with ahead of the curve bodies and relevant abilities, using the 8 removal spells to keep your opponent's board at bay, and hopefully blowing them out with a Collected Company. While I've always been more of a reactive magic player, lets see if I can take the reins and play a bit more proactively. Against heavier control, or something like heroic, I can use the transformative sideboard to stay true to my roots and go into more of a midrange deck.
