"The enemy shall not breach the citadel. Not when we stand together, with shields held tall and swords at the ready. You have been trained for days such as this, you are a might Abzan soldier! Now fight for your families and for the glory of your ancestors!" - Anafenza
The idea for the deck is to generate as many counters on my creatures as possible to have them grow and benefit from those counters from other creatures. If things get going, I can give my creatures with counters; lifelink, deathtouch, firststrike, and flying.
The Soldiers:
Abzan Battle Priest - Gives lifelink
Abzan Falconer - Gives flying
Ainok Bond-Kin
- Gives firststrike
Dragonscale General
- Provides for added ways to get counters and gives me bonuses for attacking or outlasting
Herald of Anafenza - creature creation to help block as the others grow
Ivorytusk Fortress
- Un-tapping helps since you need to tap to outlast
Mer-Ek Nightblade - Gives deathtouch
Siege Rhino - A really great card
The Support:
Abzan Ascendancy - Create counters
Abzan Charm - Utility card, at worst I draw two cards
Citadel Siege - Will mostly use the counters option to generate more counters
Hardened Scales - More counters!
Suspension Field
- Control larger threats
