Best CoCo Deck

Modern forum

Title says it all really. What deck do you think makes the best use of Collected Company? Please don't respond with a deck you play. Given this rule, I will not vote for Elves. My vote goes to Abzan Company. Some examples of other decks with it are: Zoo, U/G Fish, G/W Hatebears, Slivers, and Bant Company.

Abzan (with Vizier) is very good. I think the second best CoCo deck is Vizier Knightfall.

Slivers do well with CoCo... Good way to recover after a board wipe or just continue to pour on those ridiculous abilities and buffs.

Why is it stupid? It just lowers the bias. Obviously it's not completely fair because some decks lose more people than others do but if it doesn't exist than the most popular deck is almost guaranteed to win.

That argument would make sense if there was not an objective way to measure the deck that makes the best use of CoCo... but there is. It is called win rate and meta share.

I think it's Elves, to be honest. Elves just always seems to be around. Devoted Company and Knightfall are solid decks, don't get me wrong, but CoCo is more of a backup plan there. I've seen Elves rip 2 Shaman of the Pack off a CoCo, then tap them to Chord of Calling for the third and kill on the spot. On turn 3, mind you.

Abzan company does it best. This is coming from a pili pala combo player. After that, elves, knightfall, and bant spirits probably do it best in some order, followed by slivers, u/g fish, and the other Jank that uses coco. Zoo shouldn't need coco though. Card's a bit slow for that.
Creatures toolbox (naya Kiki combo) also can use coco well... but I'm pretty sure they just tend to use chord instead and don't have the space for coco

Yeah Kiki-Chord doesn't really use CoCo

I'd go with a value deck with a ton of etb effects

I disagree on Zoo not needing CoCo. I used to play Bushwhacker Zoo, and it definitely doesn't, but Zoo can be split into many different archetypes. Big Zoo and Dark Zoo want it.Also, does Pili-Pala want CoCo?

Ehhhhh it's not bad if you throw in Myr Superion. But the fact that pili doesn't have haste makes coco meh at best.
