abzan vs sultai

Standard forum

I've been having trouble beating sultai (particuarally mono green splash blue black). And other various sultai I may have to worry about in standard worry me. What cards are good against sultai? On a side note what abzan cards are good against Mardu midrange? Use this as a reference: Abzan deck

What do you mean by mono green splash blue black? The Sultai decks right now are : Sidisi Whip, Sultai Control, Sultai ramp. I think Sultai midrange can be a thing too. Which one are you having trouble against?

Sultai's advantage over Abzan is usually that they have a slightly better ''endgame'' than them because of their card draw spells. I don't think you can counter that with specific cards, we can discuss general strategy though. I think you have 3 choices, the first one being not going to the endgame by having a more aggro approach. The second one is having better endgame and try to go toe to toe with them. The third one is changing decks to hard counter them...

I just looked at your deck and it looks like it's trying to do two things at the same time, you don't seem to have made the cut between aggro or midrange! You should run planeswalkers and time them with Thoughtseize to create a hole in their hand so they don't have counter spells. Your deck looks like a jack of all trade but a master of none...

Sultai ramp..... is mono green splash blue black, sorry its not a common term, but the only reason its not only green is because of villainous wealth. I was asking what CARDS counter that deck, and if they could counter other sultai builds since im worried I'll have trouble with those also (since I've only really played against ramp, I worded that wrong in the post). But my deck is deffinatley Midrange, and I know I need more thoughtseize but the deck it posted as is. I'm looking for more but we all know how rare they are to come across and how expensive they are .
