I am new to Magic and was wondering if anyone could help me edit my deck. First off it is too big and I don't know wht to take out. The Heralds of Anafenza, Rakasha Deathdealers, and Anafenza the foremosts are for earlier game. For mid game a have my Siege Rhinos, and all of my Abzan cards that give different abilities for have the plu one plus one counters on them. For control i have the 4 Utter Ends, Three murderous cuts, and three Abzan charms. And then I hve what I call the sinister six. They are Ajani mentor of heros, Sorin solemn visitor, Garuk Apex Predator, Athreos God of passage, Hooded hydra, and wingmate roc.

End Hostilities is a better choice than Extinguish All Hope seeing as you're not running any enchantment creatures apart from Athreos, which is already indestructible, but your opponent may have several. Using an non-enchantment destruction card will inevitable cause you to shoot yourself in the foot. And quite frankly, in any creature-heavy deck that can't push out tokens every turn, boardwipes are a generally bad idea.

An absolute must-have for counter-stacking decks is a playset of Hardened Scales. For each one in play, each action gaining you counters gives you an extra counter.

Another good card to couple with this type of deck is Bow of Nylea which is a massively good card for utility.

Another idea for streamlining it is to focus on a few more gainful abilities, rather than trying to get all abilities into your deck. Flying granted by Abzan Falconer, First strike granted by Ainok Bond-Kin and lifelink granted by Abzan Battle Priest would be a well-rounded warrior package. First strike and flying denies all types of deathtouch creatures from halting your attacks, including Hornet Queens. Backed up by a playset of Siege Rhinos, a couple of Ivorytusk Fortresses and a couple of Anafenza, the Foremost and one or two Athreos, you'll have a lot more consistency in your card draws, and consistency is everything.

Additionally, consider adding a playset of Elvish Mystics for more mana consistency, or Sylvan Caryatids if you're willing to splurge.

And finally, look over the cards from Fate Reforged, coming out in just over a week. A lot of tasty things for counter-humping there, in the form of the bolster mechanic.

Thx hellspawned what would you suggest I take out to make it a 60 card deck.mI need to shorten it and I don't have much experience so I don't know what to take out.

I does not have to be either-or. I think that moving Ivorytusk Fortress and a lifeland out of the deck would make room, as well as make the deck much more aggro. Also, consider making a sb, move your Extinguish All Hope out of the main for another Fleecemane Lion
