1. Please work on the grammar. Thank you.

2. Azban generally doens't sideboard for this matchup, and there really isn't much to do except hope you have a Path to Exile available and cast it as soon as Primeval Titan comes out. If it's a Hive Mind build, you can try some basic enchantment removal, such as Nature's Claim.

Really, you could sideboard the same things you would for Tron, such as Fulminator Mage, Thoughtseize and maybe Ensnaring Bridge.

Tough matchup regardless, Path for Titan, Decay for amulet.

Don't be rude vishnarg.

There was no intention of rudeness in my comment. I was just asking for a bit clearer spelling and grammar when using these forums, that is all. Nothing too much to ask.

Switch to regular abzan if you want to beat those decks. Those decks are the reason why everyone stopped playing abzan aggro and switched to the liliana lists.

Regular abzan cost a lot of money.I didnt draw any paths or any removal.That could be a reason i lost.

Thoughtseize is the best card for Amulet, but Fulminator Mage is also strong.

The mirror match can be won with more removal spells and Township.

Against Twin, play more Abrupt Decay. Discard helps here as well.

I like Illness in the Ranks against Twin.If you play a lot of early discard (Thoughtseize, Inquisition*, Distress, Duress) then I love sideboarding in Surgical Extraction against almost any combo deck.

*Not good against Primetime
