Just saw the spoiler for Genesis Wave, and all I have to say :
Eeeeeeeeeeelves! AAAHRRGHHH!
I have recently made a Collected Company Abzan aggro deck. However, while I do wish to order it today, I have been debating on the choice between Courser of Kruphix and Boon Satyr. Both fill the 1GG spot in the deck, however they both do different things. Courser provides card advantage and helps my deck. In addition, it provides much needed support against aggro decks. However, as an aggro card it's lacking in pure offensive power. Second, Boon Satyr boasts 4 power and has a board wipe resistant flash. In addition I can bestow it at 5 mana onto one of my multiple tramplers. However, it has a weak 2 toughness and I can instead monstrous my boon satyr at 5 mana and the instant speed of collected company is somewhat wasted on the flash of boon satyr. Any other suggestions are welcome. Thank you to any and all who reply.

@magicrafter. That's a valid point. But what would I take out in the three drop slot? Anafenza as a four of is necessary and brimaz seems better than satyr.

Def both. But if you had to choose just one, Courser

@doctorsmegma Thanks for the comment. If I was to run both. Any ideas what I should cut?

Did you watch that match at the last SCG Standard Open when Oliver Tomajko was playing Andrew Boswell (I think)? Boswell had like 2 Anafenzas in hand and 1 on field.
Moral: Don't play legendary creatures as a four of.

@magicrafter I can see the issue with four of legendaries. However they are generally speaking killed before I play the next one. And having so many options and the better chance of turn three anafenza is worth a legendary lash back. I'll watch the match so I can get a better perspective on your opinion.

K. Here it is: Oliver vs Andrew
It's near the end I think.

Yeah, I wouldn't run more than 3 Anafenza. Even the RDW with Zurgo Bellstriker are only running 3 and he's disposable as hell.

@xcn okay I'm pretty convinced to cut at least one anafenza. But how else can I fit in more satyrs
In addition. What does every one thing I'd the inclusion if valorous stance?

What about running one or two in the main and 2-3 in the side?

@Rockny06 that's not a bad idea, but now the issue is that what would I take out in the main except a single anafenza.
