This deck is built around my newest favourite Abzan commander, Teneb, the Harvester also known as Herbert West - Reanimator, from the H.P. Lovecraft story of the same name. This deck relies on having your commander out and milling yourself at the opportune time to reanimate key creatures in your graveyard for straight value or to put creatures on the board for much much lower than their actual casting cost for a straight aggro win or a win through Aetherflux Reservoir, with Bolas' Citadel and Sensei's Divining Top, and to add even more attrition to your opponents through repeated Strip Mines from the graveyard to deny them key resources.
