Why I made this

Whenever I decide to make a new deck I always find myself sitting there and wondering, "What cards should I use for this deck?" and then I spend the next hour or so just looking around for cards, which is usually a pretty time consuming process. I'm here to fix that problem for you all! I know some of you, such as myself, enjoy searching for cards. But for those of you who want to make an awesome deck but just don't have the time to find all the cards then my list(s) should significantly help you! Enjoy!

This is a library of all of the best cards from various modern Abzan deck lists around the web. This includes cards from Abzan aggro all the way to Abzan reanimator.

Abzan (Junk) Modern

Why choose Abzan?

  1. Has a ton of removal options and can be tailored for almost any meta.

  2. Interacts with your opponent.

  3. Lots of options during deck making.

  4. Can be played in a ton of different ways, from aggro, to more control based. Even reanimator can be a viable strategy.

  5. Has a ton of hand disruption.

  6. Bonus) Has a really interesting overall Flavor of cards. Tasigur, Tarmogoyf, and Lingering Souls, Oh My!

Why you shouldn't choose Abzan.

  1. Budget brews can be created, but if your looking to be competitive usually you'll be spending anywhere from $350 to $900 so it is fairly expensive.

  2. Normal BG/x (Midrange) Shell Doesn't really have a set game plan, it changes from game to game.

  3. The normal BG/x (Midrange) Shell plays more of a reactive game rather than an active game, which means you won't be creating problems as much as your solving them.

This list is intended to help all of you out there who are interested in making a casual, or competitive modern Abzan deck. Feel free to +1 if you like this library, or if it helped you in your deck creation.

Here is a link to a very helpful forum post on Mtg salvation that can assist you in your deck creation; Abzan Primer **Note, this is mainly for Aggro and Midrange builds, it does not cover other strategies such as a more control style, collected company, podless pod and reanimator.

Here is a Collected Company/ Podless Pod Primer; Collected Company Abzan Primer

Though not exactly Abzan, here is a dredgevine Primer for those who want to get started with possibly using Abzan as a graveyard based deck (Usually splashing white); Dredge Vine Primer
