Deck Description

The dimir and rakdos builds are pretty popular, so i figured it'd be fun taking it into a slightly different direction. This is probably less powerful due to it having less of a control package and being 3 color, but the benefit to going abzan is you can run a ramp package and run additional reanimate spells other than exhume (breath of life), so you can do it moreee...maybee?

I've run a version of this deck in the past (it was even jankier- ran even more fogs) and it worked kinda but ive never directly compared to other versions out there so not sure if it stacks up (definitely less explosive than rakdos though- no dragon breath to give things haste). something to consider! It can really struggle against swarms of things if you cant get something to stick early game, so it might be worth moving up on the nauseas in the side.

How to Play

The idea here is to stall and cycle most of the big creatures away and/or use rites of spring or netter en-Dal to to toss the uncyclable ones to the graveyard, then you know the rest. Rites of Spring is really neat here as it mana fixes for your ramp spells AND dumps things.

Now if cheating out creatures fails... you can eventually just hard cast everything.
