This is a version of Abzan that splashes red for the major beatstick of Jund: bloodbraid elf. This deck can be very quickly budgeted down, while keeping the main power of the deck, in the playset of bloodbraid elves and the playset of lingering souls. The kind of "point" to this deck is to avoid the usual pitfalls of Abzan. Between the elf and birds, the deck has good play against blood moon. Elf also substantially improves our control matchup. The weakness of splashing red is that the manabase becomes more painful and the emount of siege rhinos goes down. This gives burn a much easier time and makes it much harder to stabelize. As is the norm with grindy midrange decks, the tron matchup is just kind of whatever.
