This is a deck designed to get as many counters as possible, as quickly as possible, then win by attacking with big creatures.

Experiment One or Pelt Collector on turn one, followed by any of the two-drops; especially Winding Constrictor , makes for a fast start.

Greenwheel Liberator and any fetch land on turn two creates a very fast clock, especially with a turn-one Hardened Scales .

Being in Abzan, there are a lot of good choices for removal. So, I selected removal I thought would get everything out of the way so I can play and attack with big creatures as easily as possible.

The sideboard options are also good, being in Abzan. I focused a lot of the sideboard against control (because control is annoying) and against burn. Scavenging Ooze is a really good, synergistic option for graveyard hate. Assassin's Trophy is the best way to deal with Tron without going into red or blue, and I don’t have to put in a do-nothing artifact like Damping Sphere . In a worst-case-scenario, it can still kill their Karn.

The deck has a weakness to tokens and go-wide strategies, but that can probably be fixed by putting something like Champion of Lambholt into the sideboard.
