Notes:


Crossed

The plan is to smash with {sigil of the empty throne}. Combined with {eidolon of blossoms} to draw, and {courser of kruphix} and {mastery of the unseen} for life gain make this deck fun to play. It tests well against aggro builds of mono white and RDW origins legal. I'm sure this deck will do very well against control builds.

I've considered him, however, you need (absolutely need) enchantments to trigger your effects. So I didn't have room for him MB. He might find a spot in the SB which I'm currently working on, however, {Nyx-fleece ram} might get it since it's also an enchantment.

Genesis hydra out, herald of the pantheon in.  That is my 2 cents.  Herald makes almost your whole deck cost one less and the soul sister effect is an added bonus

Genesis hydra lets me dig for permanents that I need. This is a combo deck. It needs access to the pieces without having to draw to get lucky. It increases my chance to get lucky an it's a 2 for 1. The last thing I need to to run into another ramp. 8 in this deck is enough.

If that's the case, {Chord of Calling} is the better option.

 {Roaring Primadox} as combo piece?
Bounce enchantments for more tokens?

{Chord of calling} only hits creatures, {genesis hydra} grabs all non-land permanents

I considered a one of {temur sabertooth}. Just need to playtest and figure what to remove.

Crossed

Small update after testing including partial SB

Crossed

Did some more play testing. I thought you guys ought to know that {herald of the pantheon }is gross. I'm going to build the abzan build with {doomwake giant} and {pharika, god of affliction}. Thanks guys for your help.
