Oasis Alliance is a synergistic casual brew of mine designed to be balanced against my other formatless decks intended to be shared with my playgroup and satisfy my own designer skills.

This aggressive midrange deck originally started with "Abzan Siege", one of the 5 wedges starter deck from Khan of Tarkir, it's core design is about filling the battlefield with multiple "must kill" mid sized creatures that will never-endlessly grow in power if unanswered fast thanks to all the +1/+1 counters shenanigans at our disposal.

Most of the card pool is frontier legal, merging stompy creatures and removal from KTK and body paired with slight energy pay off from KLD/AER.

• +1/+1 counter being a core aspect of the deck, I naturally included Hardened Scales & Winding Constrictor to trigger twice any instance of buffs, allowing the deck explosive starts.

• Energy has been included to improve the manabase at low cost thanks to Attune with Aether and increasing the deck mid to late game potential with Glint-Sleeve Siphoner enabling agressive draws early games.

• The removal suit has been designed to be relevant in any matchups thanks to their versatility, Dromoka's Command is dealing with early blockers while pumping our forces while Abzan Charm may exile almost any bigger threats, both paired with buffs, enchantment removal, card draws or burn counter ensure those are never going to be dead draws.

• Otherwise, the sideboard has been mostly built toward facing removal heavy decks, Feat of Resistance and Inspiring Call may ensure your threats will stick to the battlefield while never running out of gas, Abzan Falconer is ideal against tokens/chump blocking strategy and enable potential blocking against huge enemy flyers, Knight of Autumn & Siege Rhino are versatile creatures that shall favour us against more aggressive opponents thanks to their lifegain potential.

Personal notes :

• More 1 drop
• Evolve Mechanic
• Adapt Mechanic
• Remove energy and add : 4x Hangarback Walker (ORI)
