Abzan Rock (EDH / Commander) [Revision 131]

Hi everybody, welcome to my deep stage ongoing experimentation with bringing the concept of The Rock archetype to a format like EDH.

Current edit: Could go in a few directions from here in either adding the obvious next powerful mana rocks (crypt, grim, vault) or leaning still more heavily in to spot, or even mass removal. Anguished Unmaking and Merciless Eviction are both topping my 'next most wanted' removal spells atm. There's also the possibility of leaning in to slotting Armageddon and Ravages of War. And sometimes I think that if I wanted to put Dust Bowl back in, I could. Also interested in Sylvan Tutor. Also curious about Drannith Magistrate. Overall goal recently has been to tighten up kill cons, consistency, and have more answers to problematic commanders and infinites along the way. Wary of trying to overly defensively tune this for cEDH and that becoming a very polarizing slide towards there, without it really being a deck to compete there. But would also be exciting to explore lots of ideas there, to try to metagame in cEDH. Also interested in Profane Tutor to play around discard fx on top of tutor redundancy. Interested in Rise of the Eldrazi, too - more as a better version of the Kozilek I recently removed. Also have an interest in Garruk, Primal Hunter, and Garruk, Apex Predator, as well as Elspeth, Knight-Errant and Elspeth, Sun's Champion. They all create tokens, and evade hate, and provide huge advantage after hate, when left up. Stretch fantasies, or just different 'variations' to be explored, at some point.

And if Portal to Phyrexia was an enchantment, I'd be critically hot for that, too. Alas.

Nyxbloom Ancient to pull with rector, for Debt.

Savage Summoning, for EOT hate before my turn and more hate. Or just uncounterable hate.

Cards most likely to be on the chopping block, to explore this slotting:

Fraying Omnipotence
Debt to the Deathless
Awaken the Erstwhile
Mikaeus, the Unhallowed
Teferi's Protection
