I was wondering how to make a good company deck that doesn't lose to the single Languish. I looked back to the Khans of Tarkir set to finally find Abzan Ascendancy. This make us less susceptible to any sweeper. We can slowly drain our opponent with those little fliers. With two Ascendancy on the table things get crazy.
I am still testing it on cocatrice and some cards could be totally different. I was thinking about just B/G with Deathmist Raptor and Den Protector but its less fun.
Bloodsoaked Champion - good engine with Marauder and Ascendancy. Early pressure. Satyr Wayfinder - he is providing us that missing land and is easy to sac. Sultai Emissary - not sure about that guy, he hadn't seen any play ever. Fleecemane Lion - best 2CMC drop in standard right now. Liliana, Heretical Healer - the number of Liliana is doubtful, I might be wrong with the number, but in this deck I want her in every game I guess. Nantuko Husk - sac outlet, filler. Fleshbag Marauder - MVP, not every match up of course, but I like this guy.
Abzan Ascendancy - is this card good enough to make a deck around it, not sure. But I am really scary about Languish. Maybe B/G with Raptors could be enought? Collected Company - no comments. Murderous Cut - thanks to Satyr we can play this in more than 1 copy.
Sideboard isn't really fully considered yet. Depends on meta, as always. Manabase is probably bad, any advice will be nice.
What do you think? Give me any advice, tips or just say that the deck has no right of existence outside the kitchen table. Anyway, if I get Liliana, Heretical Healer in real life I will probably try this on FNM. For the next FNM I consider Abzan Constellation which is more reliably atm. Btw I am really hyped by Origins, even more than Dragons I guess
Athreos, God of Passage / Abzan Ascendancy both look good with this kind of deck. I like Athreos a little better though since I can hit him with CoCo or Leap (he's always a creature in the library). The only drawback with him is that if you get Lili's ult going he's a bit of a nonbo with her ult, so you'd want to either kill him off before the emblem hits, or not play him if you have an emblem.
Also, I suspect that in the new format token killers are going to be super important. Minister of Pain could be really strong sideboard... I'm even thinking I'll run a singleton in the main.

I'm building a straight BG version of the deck, with a little more emphasis on triggered abilities and less on raw power/toughness. I like your version, though.

Both points there are very relevant. I'm thinking I'll want to do the same thing with Reclamation Sage over Dromoka's Command for mine. Reclamation Sage is even maindeck worthy with the number of solid targets.

Fleshbag Marauder should be split 50/50 with Merciless Executioner to play around name-matters cards like Bile Blight, and I'd make use of Reclamation Sage over Back to Nature due to synergies with Lili and Company. I assume the Lili in your sideboard is a typo, since you're already at four in the main deck.
