Basically I want to trigger as much drain as possible on my Kalastria Healer's by getting out my other allies and beefing them up.

So early game is setting up blockers to have drain upon entry with Kalastria Healer, drain on upkeep with Drana's Emissary, and drain upon death with Zulaport Cutthroat, or when attacking with Brutal Hordechief. Mid game I can play Gideon, Ally of Zendikar and pump out tokens to trigger rally and widen my board. Late game I can play my Ob Nixilis Reignited, or my Sidisi, Undead Vizier to tutor for it while getting one of the best ground blockers on the field.

Abzan Charms are in this deck for many good reasons like exiling all the Mantis Rider s, Siege Rhinos, most of the eldrazi, while Silkwrap handles Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  , Hangarback Walker, Mantis Rider , and many other annoyances.

I run 2 Painful Truths for draw becuase I can take the hit for the full cost and drawing 3 cards for 3 mana is to good for my deck. I did think about putting Read the Bones in place of Painful Truths but seeing that I usually need the cards I would be scrying anyways its better to go 3 deep than 2.

My land base is a little wonky, a lot of people say I have too much green in the deck but most of that is from pain lands, tangos, and man lands. If you have any advice on this deck please be sure to leave a comment.

This deck performs well and can stand a chance against Dark Jeskai and most aggro decks. But it struggles against abzan aggro and gw mega, hence all the wraths in my board. As I play more games Ill record them in the next update. Good luck and my your land not drought or flood.
