---

Deck built with specifically Reki, the History of Kamigawa and Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle in mind.

combos:

Devoted Druid + Vizier of Remedies infinite mana

infinite mana outlets: Rhonas the Indomitable or Duskwatch Recruiter  

Meren of Clan Nel Toth + Hope of Ghirapur lock opponent out of non-creature non-instants

Vizier of Remedies or Melira, Sylvok Outcast + Kitchen Finks + sacrifice outlet = infinite life

Aluren + Whitemane Lion or Stonecloaker + Bontu's Monument = infinite drain

Aluren + Whitemane Lion or Stonecloaker + Oketra's Monument = infinite tokens

I'm very confident in the performance of this list so far, and it combines my desire to have an answer for everything in creature tutors and a lot of very specific silver bullet cards, with the general creature consistency of abzan, where most of the creatures are at the very least bears with upside against fair decks.

The deck can grind out pretty well with any number of the three and four mana creatures, Oketra's Monument, or one of the flipped baby planeswalkers, and if the game stalls out, it has several combo kill conditions, where the pieces are all just good on their own.

I'm having a ton of fun with this list, and am always open to new creature suggestions, especially if there's a spicy legend I'm missing out on.
