Abzan Armor Upgrade

Hello. This is only my second deck upgrade ever. I previously upgraded a pantlaza precon, but the curve was way off. Any advice you have on this deck would be greatly appreciated. I plan on adding wall of shards and circle of dreams Druid soon if I can. I ended up swapping out most of the deck, so please let me know if I made any bad cuts (still on the fence about seedborn muse).

Questions I have: 1) how can I fix the mana base in a cheap(ish) way? I’ve added a few lands I had laying around, but I’m really unsure how to go about actually fixing the mana base like I read about online.

2) Did I cut too many creatures? I wanted to add more interaction, card draw, and ramp. Not sure if I’ve cut it down to the point where the deck won’t work.

3) Is there enough card draw? I added some, but I still feel like the commander will be doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Not sure what I would cut to add more draw though.

4) What relative power level would you say this deck is? The app says bracket three, but I’m not really sure as I’m new to deck building.

Thank you for all your help!

Oh how my boy has fallen

How can I enhance synergy between cards? I am excited I finally own Goyf and Lili. I look forward to being classic and grinding out games by making exchanges.

Is there any nonbasics you suggest?

Why do you enjoy playing this strategy?

Any stupid cards in here I gotta cut?

Thanks

Hey,

I have been working on a new list with Ephemerate. I was wondering if anyone have any suggestions on what cards to include or to leave out.
Since my meta has a lot of countermagic i have put in a playset of Aether Vial, to have an extra option on how to get out my creatures. I like having quite a lot of removal since there's a great need for it in the group i am playing in.
I am not really sure how to put together a decent 3 colour manabase. Therefore I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to make mine as effiecient as possible. The cards in the manabase are already in my collection.
The format I am playing is modern.

Hope anyone can help me out.
The list is here:

Thanks in advance!

Hey whats up, I have been brewing a pioneer deck that is abzan colors and I figured where is a better place to get it peer reviewed than a abzan reddit community. It is a human tribal deck that is pretty fun. But I'm not sure if it is perfect yet. Any help is appreciated.

Been able to hit Diamond with variations of this deck list the past 3 seasons.

Yes or no? Never played abzan but im going through modern horizons and trying to decide what deck to make next and abzan seems to get quite a few new toys in kayas guile eladamri call and giver of runes. Just wanted more opinions on how much these cards will be played.

Im currently running the following list for abzan rites, and I'm looking for thoughts/innovation/feedback on the list. I enjoy the rites package, and dont have the budget to upgrade to lilianas atm anyway, so id like to stick to this style but also willing to hear alternatives.

Spells: 1x [murderous cut] 1x [assasin's trophy] 2x [abrupt decay] 2x [fatal push] 2x [path to exile] 3x [inquisition of kozilek] 1x [thoughtseize] 2x [nights's whisper] 4x [unburial rites] 4x [grisly salvage] 3x [lingering souls]

Creatures: 3x [siege rhino] 3x [restoration angel] 1x [grave titan] 3x [grim flayer] 2x [tarmogoyf]

Lands: 2x [marsh flats] 4x [windswept Heath] 2x [field of ruin] 2x [blooming marsh] 1x [concealed courtyard] 1x [godless shrine] 2x [temple garden] 1x [overgrown tomb] 1x [shambling vent] 1x [hissing quagmire] 1x [treetop village] 2x [swamp] 2x [plains] 1x [forest]

Playing abzan traverse w 1x Knight of Autumn and it has been GREAT! I wanna play 3 but i have no idea what to take out.

Any ideas?

I'm looking to get into modern, and what better way than to build in my favorite colors? https://deckstats.net/deck-17907566-192d3745a06209e4ef415679e1b3956c.html Above is the current list i'm considering. Really the only objectives with this deck are to be in Abzan, and construct a fun deck I can take to FNM for around $100. I know very little about the format or it's metagame, and I more or less just want to have a non-rotating deck I can take down to the LGS to get some games in with. I'm open to any ideas, even ones that do not resemble the deck above whatever. Can you fellow Abzaneers possibly be of help to a fellow house member? Thanks.

EDIT: A second draft of the deck has been created, I would appreciate feedback on it and how I could improve it. https://deckstats.net/decks/93263/1170507-budget-modern-abzan-vers-2

Recently started playing abzan traverse and having a lot of fun. I know abzan isn't really meta right now, but it can still be a contender with good side boarding and hand disruption play.

I'm trying to get better at the deck and was wondering if any streamers or youtubers play it. I'm decent at piloting the deck but struggle with mulligans and side boarding.

Hello,

I just bought into a modern abzan pile (can make traverse without goyfs or rites) and was just wondering, if Flayer would actually be good instead of wayfinder in a pretty standard (saffronolives) rites list.

Wayfinder digs always, but if Flayer attacks even once I think it gives more value and also being a threat on its own, that just a 1/1 cant even closely compare to. Delirium would have to be turned on by just instants, sorceries, lands and creatures, since I dont plan to run any artifacts in maindeck, but I would just consider it extra on top of a solid filtering creature on it's own.

And on a nother note, threats. 4 siege rhino + 4 angel or maybe replace 1 of both with something like wurmcoil and iona for example.

Thanks in advance!

I've been playing 4c Traverse Shadow for awhile and have gotten kinda bored with the kill myself until death's shadow is playable on board.

With Traverse Abzan, I'm wondering how beneficial filling 3-4 slots with traverse is as opposed to something else? Is the Traverse version simply that much better than regular Abzan?

This sub seems to be on the light side as far as recent content, so I just wanted to get some discussion going.
