Despise
Considering that the new standard looks to be dominated by mid-range decks, and there are also a lot of "superfriends" decks being pushed, isn't this card really strong right now? I'm thinking about running these in my Abzan control/mid-range deck.
Ah, I was looking for a thread for the deck archetype, but I was looking in competitive -> established. I'm sure it'll get moved there once this deck shows up in event results. Thanks for the link, heading over to post there now!
Your going to see Despise played but in sideboards and in lower quantities than thoughtseize. If you recall previous metas, the strongest hand disruption card will reign supreme. I think that despise will be sideboard material though.

I've got a link to an Abzan Midrange list in my signature that you may be interested in, by the way.
