Abzan!

I'm excited for junk, always am.

I made top 8 in States last spring in Minnesota with a junk midrange deck. Check out the SCG site for the list.

Anywho... Right now aggro is extremely tough to pull off in three colors because a majority (all) of the dual lands in standard are now tap lands. So Stupid

Midrange seems to be the way to go right now, and with the lack of boardwipes around, I don't see a problem with that.

However, if there are mono color aggro decks out there with Goblin Rabblemaster *cough, Abzan offers many solutions to dealing with it. One being Drown in Sorrow.

I love Drown in Sorrow, and I think I'm going to make it a feature of this deck. All the creatures must have at least a toughness of 3 to survive, save tokens from planeswalkers. the list works out quite well. Strong asshole creatures to drop on a curve pretty nicely.

Anywho, the next magic even I go to I will probably run this Midrange deck. Eventually, I might fine tune it and turn it into an outlast aggro deck (haha, right?) with some pretty nice combos. However... there just aren't enough lands to support a speedy deck in three colors.

SO...

Here is my list, give me comments, updates, opinions... the new meta is just changing... if you learn something fantastic... pass it on to the community with your name on it and you'll be labeled a genius!
