I built this deck originally as an outgrowth on my abzan standard deck.

The +1/+1 counter generation is quite fun and can get out of hand fairly fast. The deck runs some selective grave hate to power up or control somethings. It was fun putting this deck together and I think it brings out aspects of both the colours and the theme behind House of Abzan, with being an enduring force and alot of the creatures and spells aim to give back to the deck from their use in some shape or form rather than just being good cards to give an example of tightly knit and sharing community.

Something ive been tinkering with is adding artifact/machine like counter production to bring an element of storytelling in that the Abzan have been developing their technology as well as their magic for advancement to ease the hardships of the desert and to better defend themselves.
