Brimaz, King of Oreskos - Serves a lot of purposes for me. He's an incredible 3 drop. Great for aggro decks, mostly for slowing them down. Or a great target to get those removal spells out of the opponent's hand early game.

Courser of Kruphix - Gotta have this card in abzan midrange. She makes for a great 3 drop, life gain and helping thin my deck out a little faster. Can't tell you how many times I started a 3 land hand and was still able to drop a land every turn with her. Incredible card.

Fleecemane Lion - Great early card for aggro or an early swing. Monstrous is great for pump decks too.

Hornet Queen - Works soooooooo well with Sorin. She's won me quite a few games by dropping her on turn 7 and Sorin turn 8. Or by herself giving me the time to chump block big creatures to stay alive.

Siege Rhino - I really dont think he needs any kind of introduction.

Sylvan Caryatid - Huge help for a thin hand on mana. Always shows up when i need her.

Wingmate Roc - Again. Roc's and sorin ftw. Had a couple scoops with those 2 on the board.

Elspeth, Sun's Champion - I've been able to ult her a couple times or used her as a distraction. The 1/1 soldiers are nice too :)

Sorin, Solemn Visitor - He ended up being my MVP of the deck. He's won me more games than any card in this deck. He's a huge game changer. Not to mention ulting him and immediately dropping another one lol

Abzan Charm - Utility. I love multipurpose, and this defines that. Haven't used the last option yet but removal and card draw on one card is enough to fulfill a huge need.

Banishing Light - I used to run 2, but i decided 4 works a lot better. Being able to remove anything that can slow me down is huge. It worked a lot better against aggro than i suspected. banishing key momentum pieces killed aggo's fuel.

Any suggestions are welcome. I'd love to hear new strategies towards aggro since that is my biggest weakness. Everything else is more than manageable.
