Deck Description

I think creatures die a lot in this format, so Wight of the Reliquary is decent. Knight of the Reliquary is still good with all the fetches. I forgot Vindicate was legal, easy include. Eternal witness for value. Wall of Roots and BOP for ramp. Finks for main deck lifegain. Chord to get anything I need. Single abrupt decay and Liliana for value. I think pushes are needed in this meta, and Thoughtseize because black deck.

Sideboard might change a bit but Mite for hard to kill cards, Moonlight for Through the Breach, Accursed Marauder for hard to kill creatures. Ooze for graveyards, Another decay if needed, Damping for storm and tron. And the MVP sb card Knight of Autumn that can do a ton in different matchups. Didn't include Nadu hate because it will be banned.

How to Play

I have been testing this exact list for a couple of days and I find the deck to be lacking power. It seems that whatever this deck does is overshadowed by a bigger or better play from the opponent. The only time I feel ahead is when I have a Rhino, and even then it gets removed from the board pretty quick. I really want to keep Ephemerate + Rhino in the deck, but maybe this 'shell' isn't good enough for what I am envisioning in my head. If you have any ideas, feel free to let me know.

Deck discussion for Abzan Rhino (Modern)

Man, it's the fact that decks like this don't really work in modern anymore that makes me not care about the format one goddamned bit these days. This is a great value pile, but just doesn't do enough at first glance.

Though, to start, Chord of Calling and Ephemerate in such high numbers seem like a bad idea. There are not enough silver bullets, and not enough cheap shit to cast it easily to justify Chord, and probably not enough bounce targets to justify Ephemerate as a 4x.

PS: Top choice of basic land art <3
