A well time Bioshift could easily sway the game to your favor

Yes, good observation! Let alone a Fate Transfer for stealing counters also. But Reyhan has this semi-bioshift mechanism build in her ability and I value cards like Berserk or Ashnod's Altar for a lethal swing just slightly more.

I have been debating about this instant many times before so thanks for the suggesting!

one of the cheeki things i like to do with Bioshift that reyhan can't is bio shift counters from a blocked creature to an unblocked little dude for huge damage at instant speed

also, ive found Abzan Falconer works wonders

That is very true, but sacrificing effects do too! (even if it costs me a creature) Abzan Falconer is very good, i just cannot fit a slot for him. But i might test a bit.

I'm having a great time with this. First playtest against one of my longtime magic partners went something like this: T1: Forest, Burgeoning T2: Forest x3, Selvala, Heart of the Wilds T3: Forest, tapped Selvala, Heart of the Wilds for Reyhan, Last of the Abzan then Solidarity of Heroes Then the concede. I dislike concessions and will myself play a losing game until there's no way out, but still...my board state was something like 14 mana on Turn 4. Mad props, deck builder! I'll be interested to see how your deck evolves, and how it differs now that I set up my own copy to mess around with. I had about half the card selection you did while cruising various synergies in witch-maw colors before stumbling on this glorious item. Keep it up!

Awesome! Happy to hear you're having a good time with Reyhan and Ishai. Selvala is such a crazy card on itself, let alone to this deck. Ordeal of Nylea, Hardened Scales and Mirror Mockery are also one of those drops that let you accelerate so quickly.

At the moment I'm having a few concerns about carddrawing, but other than that this deck runs pretty solid every match. It's allot of fun getting all the board attention.

Hex Parasite is pretty bad, but what about Vampire Hexmage or even worse... Solemnity.

Solemnity is absolutely the bane of this deck and i guess Vampire Hexmage is too, but i just gave an example, let alone that solemnity wasn't out when i wrote the description yet. I'll update it.

This seems super fun: I find it a lot like my deck: Ravos + Reyhan = Countery Fun

Ahh yes, Reyhan and Ishai are absolutely my favorite generals to play! I'll take a look at your brew! ;)

How quickly does your deck get off the ground?

I think 6-8 mana ramp spells/rocks such as signets Farseek (into a shock land) could help you get off one of your commanders on turn 3, far more reliably.

Uhhm, Reyhan always needs a 1 more piece combo to get off the ground and since people tend to not notice Ishai's strength until she becomes a 9/9, it can go very fast! for example a Hardened Scales+ishai, Mirror Mockery+Reyhan or the Kalonian Hydra makes for very fast games.

Reyhan or Ishai always are a reliable turn 3 play, which is why i don't really need 1 mana ramping spells and am also not a fan of putting any more mana rocks in this deck also, it's green enough to work without and i have creature fetching and global artifact removal in this deck. Instead i rather play creatures like Gyre Sage, Rishkar, Peema Renegade and Selvala, Heart of the Wilds or the newly introduced Traverse the Outlands.

Farseek is nice, I have been thinking about adding this card in since i added a few shocklands recently, but i haven't thought about what to replace it for yet.

I just really, really love this deck! it looks soo fun, just.. I don't have understand the "kill 3" combo, someone can explain it to me?the idea is play Reyhan, Last of the Abzan and equip Blade of Selves on her, I attack with her (in this example I'm fighting with 3 other players) so I put some 3 tokens copy of her on play, until here is ok, each one of them is a 3/3 like her, for the legendary rules you destroy all the copies and all the counters go on the origina ones... but something here is wrong: 3 copies of her, all 3/3, is destroyed, so the original ones (3/3) take 3+3+3 counters on her, so she become a 12/12 and not a 21/21, I have maybe lost a passage?however a +1 for this super fun deck!

Hello Foxys92

Assuming 3 opponents, the Blade of Selves will add two copies of Reyhan, Last of the Abzan, attacking each other opponent.They immediately die due to the legendary rule.

All 3 Reyhan, Last of the Abzan triggers, giving 9 counters pr. dead Reyhan, Last of the Abzan, which you put on the last surviving Reyhan, Last of the Abzan, 18 counters + his initial 3.This brings him to 21 counters and lethal commander damage.

Yes! Thanks for filling in Saharez, haha. It is because both copies die at the exact same time and at that moment all "thee" Reyhans see and trigger on each other and them selves.

Note that these are 6 x 3 counters. You can put these all on one existing creature or on six different existing creatures (Including target opponent's creatures, because why not!).

But thanks for the up vote, appreciated! :D

You could make good use of Death's Presence in this deck. ;)

It actually was in here, but it made place for Gift of Immortality. In my opinion the card underperformed.

You said : "Living Death, Chasm Skulker, Victimize and Abzan Ascendancy are very interesting tools as they all help us keep our counters also even if the board becomes wiped for a brief moment. This is because once one of these spells resolve Reyhan's ability becomes placed on top of the stack and won't be looked at until the current spell is done, and at that moment we should have new creatures on the board!"

That is wrong. I think the guys at MTGSalvation explain it right

Was unable to link the link see this one : http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/magic-fundamentals/magic-rulings/762837-reyhan-abzan-ascendancy-and-board-wipes

That just makes Yahenni three times more important.

Mhm this is very interesting, especially since the likes of Living Death does work with cards like Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest (but then again Mazirek does not target things). Thanks you for the correction!

If this all is true then it will certainly hit this deck a bit, but there are always cards like Teferi's Protection to replace onto. I'm gonna look for some other ways to preserve my counters :)

Don't take the creatures back to your hand from the grave but reanimate them directly onto the battlefield, then work with Skullbriar, the Walking Grave. That's how I do it in my Ghave build (that contains Reyhan as well).

Ow that's a good one! Well I learned that Living Death in the end does work with Reyhan's ability, as on this one reyhan does chooses a target after the whole card has resolved, but for the likes of Chasm Skulker, Abzan Ascendancy and Gift of Immortality it does not as originally intended by fieldwipes, but that's okay. Chasm Skulker especially does it's job already by creating tokens.

Instead i'm gonna add some totem armor's like Bear Umbra and Eel Umbra, test around with the likes of Sheltering Light, Shield of the Oversoul, Bontu the Glorified and maybe Ghave, Guru of Spores, Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni or Deathbringer Regent.
