Abzan Exile on a Budget
Commander (EDH) forum
Posted on Nov. 25, 2014, 4:11 p.m. by Wolfsbane706
I'm looking to build another EDH deck centered around exiling things, and I was told that Abzan was the way to go for colors. What cards do you recommend?

White/Black/Green. Abzan, not Orzhov or Esper. Under command of Anafenza, the Foremost or Teneb, the Harvester.

Teysa, Orzhov Scion can be played in Abzan and be effective as long as most of your creatures are either black or white you can have green creatures but try to make them multicolored ones as much as possible if you are going to play Teysa. Also cards like Archon of Justice, Path to Exile, Abzan Charm, Utter End, Swords to Plowshares, Perilous Vault and Merciless Eviction do nicely at exiling things as well. and are within the abzan color scheme and don't require as much building around.

Oh I understand. I thought you said any other options besides Abzan. My bad. Nfcnorth pretty much has the cards down though.

Path to Exile and Swords to Plowshares are pretty much staples. I may search out a Rest in Peace, too.

You can't have exile without destroy, things like Vindicate are fun too. Sac effects are also fun to play with, since Abzan has the best reanimator colors (black and green).

I also neglected to mention Selesnya Charm which is another versatile card that can exile things. It's pretty recent and cheap too so it shouldn't be to hard to find.
if you want even more cards that exile Revoke Existence, Return to Dust, Erase, Angelic Edict, Silence the Believers, Sever the Bloodline, King Macar, the Gold-Cursed and Deicide all exile things as well
Oh and if you by your self a copy of the new white commander deck you get Angel of the Dire Hour.

Let's not forget Fade into Antiquity. Angel of the Dire Hour looks real nice, but unfortunately, all of the White EDH decks are sold out

White/Black. Maybe Esper for the counter spells (sounds like a control deck) and then run graveyard hate too. That's my opinion. Relic of Progenitus and Tormod's Crypt. I would use Sen Triplets for Esper or Teysa, Orzhov Scion for Orzhov.
