Budget Abzan Midrange - Siege Rhino

Modern BGW (Abzan, Junk) Budget Midrange

Nostrafer


A budget list I made after some research as a tribute to the power of the Siege Rhino.

As a midrange deck we run a lot of removal spells, mainly against creatures - that's to be improved as my budget allows, especially Journey to Nowhere into Path to Exile, Cast Down into Fatal Push and Putrefy into Abrupt Decay.

The next issue, as a budget list is the mana base. My solution was to use the three dorks that can produce Abzan colours. They operate as accelerators in the early game and as chump blockers as the game progresses.

For the threats we have Bronzehide Lion, the Theros Beyond Death addition, that not only functions as an early beater but can be made into a protection aura for our bigger threats. Following him we have a couple of Knight of Autumn, our jack of all trades... It can gain us life, remove an enchantment/artifact or at least create an ok body for its price. Anafenza, the Foremost predates on graveyard synergies and can get our boys bigger. Wilt-Leaf Liege in her turn can enhance all of our worst threats in +2/+2 as they are in Selesnya colours and it's a great way to close the game.

Finally, our main star Siege Rhino is the sole reason this deck exists and needs no introduction.

For the interventions I would really like some insight in how to make my game more consistent as in the tests I did I often find myself keeping no so good hands and having a hard time putting all the pieces in place. Some sideboard advice is also very good as I actually have none for the moment, as the deck is in its inception.

All suggestions are welcomed, feel free to disagree and give me a shout out where you think I can improve this list.

Thanks in advance!
