I love this deck, because it makes good use of one of most annoying creatures in all of magic, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben. With only 4 spells that aren't creatures, we don't particularly care about getting taxed by Thalia. She hurts our opponent way more than she hurts us. Also, Thalia, Heretic Cathar slows our opponent down as well. What can I say, Thalia gets good.

I chose to make the deck abzan because it allows me to play Dark Confidant and Anafenza, the Foremost. Both of those cards help me out in the late game, something that tribal decks sometimes struggle with.

There's no form of removal in the deck. I can probably afford to put in some, but I'm mainly focused on getting an explosive start and using Bob to carry me into the late game. I'd rather put my opponent on defense the whole time so that I don't have to worry too much about removing their threats, if that makes sense.

Let me know what you think of the deck, I'd love to hear any suggestions that you may have.
