Deck discussion for Podless Abzan Aggro Modern

Been working on this list for a while now. I have a Abzan Standard deck but I am getting out of Standard due to the accelerated rotation schedule. Any thoughts on how I can make this deck more affordable? The some of these cards are very expensive and will take me a while to get.

I think with the modern meta the way it is, you are better off building melira/anafenza company combo.

something to look at. abzan goodstuff like this list is just a few steps behind in the format. and the manabase is rearrangable to eat some of the cost. if you are looking for more budget decks I would head over to mtggoldfish and look at saffron olives list of modern budget decks. sorry moderators for the off-site links :P

I have completed the deck. However, it is not performing as expected and I am very frustrated. I do not want to have to put more money into this deck, but as I have discovered, Magic is a money pit. I am debating between trying to retool the deck or completely scrap it and canabalize the parts. Thoughts?

Made some updates based on suggestions and feedback. Mainly Sorin and Sublime Archangel for pump, life gain and token generation.

This isn't an aggro deck, I would add scavenging ooze, abrupt decay, maelstrom pulse, and a 24th and 9 fetches is simply too much I believe 6-7 is the prime numer, after that you are hurting your life total. 2 more voices and cut the sorin if possible. Also 4 loxodon skiers is too much and your curve is rediculous.

Cards I would take out

Sublime archangel
1x Gavony township
3x razor verge
Marsh flats
Wilt-leaf liege
1x siege rhino
2 loxodon smiter

Things I would add

More shock lands
Inquisition of kozilek
Abrupt decay
Scavenging ooze
Liliana of the veil
More voice
Kitchen finks main board

Your sideboard is wrong in a lot of ways, you can only have 15 cards not 18

And it doesn't stop many decks, I would add disenchant another stony silence, cestial purge, surgical extraction and possibly more firewalker or fulmi mayor mage.

Your decks curve is off and the reason you're not performing well is because of the high cmc of your creatures and lack of control on the board state and to call it "podless" is redundant, might as well just call it Abzan midrange
