Long live Abzan! :)

After playing Abzan at the prerelease this weekend, I decided that I couldn't help but try the clan in standard. This deck has some of my favorite kinds of cards in it - powerful hand and creature destruction, card advantage producers to pull ahead in the late-game, and high-value midrange monsters.

This deck is still very much in the developmental stage, so I'd appreciate any feedback you'd be willing to give. That being said, I am aware of a few things...

-Yes, Elspeth would be awesome in this deck, but I can't bring myself to spend eighty dollars for a playset. So unfortunately, she's out.

• Also, the manabase also needs some work, I know. Refuge lands are a bit suboptimal (though the lifegain is semi-relevant as I will be using it to cast Thoughtseize and to use painlands) but the Abzan scrylands are also quite expensive, and I doubt I'll be buying them. If I get my hands on them, or on Wooded Foothills, I will put them in the deck, though.

That said, any more suggestions would be awesome. :) Thanks for looking at my deck! Long live the House!
