In keeping with my out-of-left-field streak I've been on, I've assembled this oddball, Siege Rhino-less Abzan Aggro (maybe slightly midrange?) deck.

(I will probably add Siege Rhino at some point of course, but I've yet to find a shop in my area with copies!)

The mana curve is slim and trim, lots of early threats and plenty of mid-game follow-up.

Here are some of the fun little interactions this deck is capable of:

Sorin, Solemn Visitor + Pain Seer

Lifegain and card advantage. 'Nuff said.

Battle Brawler + Phalanx Leader + Gleam of Authority

+1/+0 and first strike right off, plus copious buffing from Phalanx Leader

Agent of the Fates + any of the targeted spells

This guy pairs pretty jankily with almost all the targeted spells. Abzan Charm buff >> creature sac. Plus you can also choose two targets with the Charm, so you can trigger heroic with both AoF and Phalanx Leader for some potent field advantage.

There's probably all kinds of cool stuff I haven't even taken notice of yet, but let me know in the comments!

Feedback happily welcomed and invited as always :)

(Side note: I need a sideboard too! Suggestions HIGHLY welcomed!)
