Fuel is what we use to continue doing what we want to do with our Engines.
Blisterpod: When he dies we get an Eldrazi Scion Token. This will Fuel our Zulaport Cutthroat more than once since we triggered him with our Blisterpod and our Scion Token.
Sultai Emissary
: This guy only costs us 2 mana and when he dies he makes another 2/2. So basically he'll trigger Zulaport Cutthroat and also "come back" stronger? I like it!
Hangarback Walker: This guy is great in general. We can run him as a huge body to swing with early on, or we can pop him to make a ton of Thopter Tokens. The tokens can help us block oncoming flyers that we usually have problems with, such as
Mantis Rider
. Your opponents never want to pop this guy so they'll always try to use stuff like Abzan Charm to exile him. But in response we can sacrifice him to Nantuko Husk or
Evolutionary Leap
.
Catacomb Sifter
: When he enters, he brings a Scion Token with him. What's his job is to block early on in the game and let us scry whenever one of our creatures become sac bait or get killed by removal/combat. The scry really helps us get rid of land we don't need and can help dig for the right things we need!
Liliana, Heretical Healer
: She is good as she's usually a Planeswalker the turn she comes out or at the very least; the next turn. Her -X can resurrect any creature from our graveyard as all of our stuff costs less than 3 (meaning we can do this the turn she flips) and they're all non-legendary. Her -8 can just be a breeze for us as we can kill multiple creatures per turn, and at the end step; get them back and do it again!
Abzan Ascendancy
: This card is great! Not only is it complete fuel for our deck; it can also help us be a bit more of the aggressive side if we have to in order to get their health down early on before our fun begins! Whenever one of our non-token creatures die; we get a Spirit Token that can not only Fly past our opponents creatures, but can be used as bait for our Engines, or can help block the likes of
Mantis Rider
or
Wingmate Roc
.
