About shuffling all 15 sb cards into main deck is a bit similar to what Reid Duke did in his online match up. He will add relevant SB cards to his MB and started cutting any dead weight cards from his Mb to his Sideboard.
To bobjackson : Apologies if my comment somehow pessimistic about your deck configuration. It's just that by playing without draw engine or cards that can filter our draw, I feel that we could be screwed if we cannot continuously draw good cards while we only relying on draw phase.
Concerning about graveyard based deck, i think Abzan can handle it better than other BGx variants. I may suggest mainboarding 2 remorseful cleric, it's make our Game 1 less vulnerable againts graveyard decks while it's not truly dead draw againts the other decks.
@devtin : I like your removal line up, very brave. I may try it if i had chance.
And by the way Thank you @FlyingDelver for updating primer with Knight of Autumn as additional choice !
If i may add little bit we can side board in Knight of Autumn and Kalitas againts RG Valakut since some life gain can save us from Valakut ability.
To Piney : That list definitely is bit risky, using all CMC 1 to disrupt opponent hand while clearing the coast using PTE,then aiming for Top deck mode. The plan is good but without CA source i don't know if it safe to do that. For me Draw engine not only provide us with additional cards but also to dig our deck deeper for answering certain threats. If one doesn't run CA engine then that player should play selection creature like Flayer or playing with cantrips to dig the right card for tight situation. Like many player mention in Jund section that GBx need a way to manipulate the top deck and while playing CA engine.
I felt a bit uncertain about mixing Tasigur with Goyf, Tasigur tends to eat too much graveyard which can hamper goyf power and toughness. In past I've also playing with Tasigur and Goyf but recently i just opt playing another cards instead tasigur.
Removal is quite decent, though I'm waiting Abzan deck which running path and trophy together.
Settle wreckage is another potential sweepers for Abzan but the inability to take all creatures is makes me reluctant to play it while costing double white. Painful truth is another strong for grindy for sure and maybe to certain extent Night whisper.
@Ayiluss
Of course I always view Knight of Autumn as versatile card, just hoping FlyingDelver will add it at Lifegain Category and Destruction Category.
@KTROJAN
That's so many Lifegain will make sure that you don't have any difficulties against Burn and Aggro while also good vs Grind Deck. I always think that 4 KoA is bit too many but i can see that it's possible to play full set MD. Knight of Autumn is seriously underrated card, this card is one of my reason looking back for Abzan due to it's functions well against so many Deck. Good luck with the your Abzan deck !
Btw I want to ask you guys :
1) Can Tireless Tracker replacing Lingering Souls MD and will it do better job than Souls ?
2) With Knight of Autumn, Trophy and sometimes Maelstrom Pulse with Abrupt Decay in MD, is it still necessary to add Stony silence in SB ? I ask this since Abzan had more ways to deal with Artifact and Enhancement better than any other of BGx variant.
Kind of interested with this deck and want to give it a try.
Also is there any recent BUG list ? Maybe adding fatal push to MB for example.
EDIT : Just realized that Deathrite Shaman is banned, never mind then.
Sweet article FlyingDelver.
