The idea for this deck is to get ridiculous synergy and formidable creatures from counters. Ones that are hard to kill without there being something left behind.

Initially I played GW counters and it was super strong. It did have trouble against control strategies, but that is expected. There are plenty of strong cards in Abzan colours, and considering the land base we have available in the current format, it is well worth adopting more colours.

Drana, Liberator of Malakir works surprisingly well and is easy to get out on turn 3 with this mana base. Likewise with Anafenza, the Foremost. Woodland Wanderer consistently comes out as a 6/6 on turn 4 and even bigger if there is a hardened scales on board.

Appreciate any suggestions, and please up vote if you liked the build! It will help to get more advice on the build ( ͡͡ ° ͜ ʖ ͡ °). Sideboard to come soon.
