it's a pretty typical Abzan midrange. It does Rhinos and birds and hornets and soldiers and vamps oh my.
Anafenza, the Foremost is a two of in main because whip is so previlent in a ton of decks now so odds are I'll side her in game two anyway. Figured why not just have her in the main. She gives me an edge against whip, as my creatures can hit the yard but yours cant and she buffs stuff, so that's good. Also she sings! "Do you wanna build an abzan? come on lets go and play! I don't see you in the yard no more come on and mill some more! It's like you're in the fray! I'll swing i've got a buddy, but you do not I can beat and that is why!I know you want an abzan?I only work in abzan!......Sorry I started it and I pretty much had to do one whole verse.
Siege Rhino does rhino stuff along with Courser of Kruphix and
Sylvan Caryatid
doing their thing it's pretty self explanatory
Sorin, Solemn Visitor he's my dude. he just does good things and it really doesn't matter what match I play I'm always happy to see is smiling face
Wingmate Roc it's just a great card in this deck as more life equals more happy, plus flyers are always awesome. he also has a silly synergy with the whip if need be, as I can toss him into the swing to gain a little extra life and push through some extra damage, or I can whip him after and leave his baby on the board as a blocker to protect myself from counterswing. it's just good.
Elspeth, Sun's Champion you might disagree with her being a one of, but I've just gotten annoyed with her. almost every time I play her she dies end of turn or gets countered. if she does she board and dies then I ended up paying 6 for a white soldier hoardling outburst. her minus two misses hornet queen and tokens, but it hits all my stuff so I'm just not too excited to have more than one or two in main.
Bile Blight My absolute favorite removal! for two black I can kill all those pesky hornets, goblins, or soldiers? yeah I'm into that. it's also great against Sidisi, Brood Tyrant I can either remove all the zombies that are made if i hit it too late or if i have it in hand when you cast her I can blow sidisi up with the trigger on the stack resulting in no zombies. I like that. Abzan Charm and Hero's Downfall do the same thing, but I like to save the charm for draw cards and downfall for plainswalkers.
Hornet Queen is a one of because I should only need to see her once. I don't really ramp for her so she is more out there as a "so you played a hornet queen? HA! well guess what sunny jim you're not the only one" kinda thing. she's great for late game and ya know, does Hornet Whore stuff.
SideBORED
Ajani, Mentor of Heroes He's okay. he works great with Liliana though if I need a sorin or a Rhino or something, he just doesn't have the presence a good plainswalker should have and only sees a little play from me.
Liliana Vess she's awesome. she says "what do you need honey? Okay I'll get that for ya." she's just a nice lady, plus hand control isn't too bad even against whip as if we're at the point where she can see board then you should have the mana to hardcast whatever you wanted to play. forcing you to only be able to whip your things by using hand control is nothing to scoff at.
Erase
hits whip, hits courser, hits Jeskai Acendency. for one? yeah i like that.
Any questions, advice, baradement, or adoration would be cool so please leave a comment because I'd love to hear it all.
