bury the year Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 So the Abzan build did wonderfully when it went off in playtesting, but more often than not it fell flat on its face. Here's a different variant I've been testing: it's significantly lighter on the wallet, and you don't have the bulky +1/+1 counter shenanigans to rely on. Instead, better rally triggers and more removal!

bury the year Posted October 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 -1 Expedition Envoy+1 Gideon, Ally of Zendikar Guess who pulled a Gideon? ...not me. But a friend did. And we traded and sheet. Hoping to get another at some point. I'm also hoping to proxy up an Aether Vial variant to see how it compares to CoCo.
