Standard Abzan Elves
This deck plays off of the standard Abzan Elf deck that just went out of standard. Here, there are a few main changes:
Dark Petition
will function as your tutor; even though you will not be putting the card onto the battlefield, you will hopefully get your 3 black mana. With Battle For Zendikar we got
March from the Tomb
, which could replace
Rally the Ancestors
, but I still like it here, as I can return any number of creatures from my graveyard.
Gilt-Leaf Winnower
can actually be quite effective in standard now that the Eldrazi are back.
Basic Mechanic:
Rather than using
Satyr Wayfinder
we have to work with
Gather the Pack
, so we are down a few creatures. This is no big deal as
Gather the Pack
can fill up your graveyard quite quickly for the
rally
.
Elvish visionary
is a very helpful card in the early game, as is
Gnarlroot Trapper
.
Abzan Charm
and
Murderous Cut
for control, and
Siege Rhino
for power.
Shaman of the Pack
is your lord. If you play him early on, make sure you block or kill him off effectively so that you can use him and every other creature in your graveyard through
Rally the Ancestors
to make a swing in life total.

No, these creatures will not have haste, so you do not want to
rally
too early!

Try to get at least two
Shaman of the Pack
in there before you
Rally the Ancestors
. One or two
Siege Rhino
wouldn't hurt either to go along with any number of other elves you get to
reanimate
. Remember, only the creatures you bring back get exiled at your next upkeep, not any of them that you already have in play.

what if you have sidisi or nantuko husks or quarsi in the graveyard with a
siege rhino
and you
rally
? can you sacrifice a
siege rhino
to one of them to avoid exiling it as it would go to the graveyard before the next upkeep?
tis way it could be rallied again
