The only time Westvale Abbey ever helped me was against burn. I could have swung out with my dudes but then left open for counter attacks and they are almost always ahead of you on damage. The lifelink is what saved me. Otherwise I am sure it is a win more card but the option is always nice to have. It is also a bonus against a board heavy presence where neither of you can get through. It also helps to sack stuff that can come back from the grave. Might be too cute but worth looking into. Creatures with persist or undying perhaps might give us an edge against creature heavy decks.
