Why play this deck?
1.) Extremely good removal package. The format is young, fast, and creature heavy (and this deck plays the answers)
-Right now the format reminds me of FNM the week after a new block appears for the first time. Nobody really knows what to play, so aggro runs wild.
-In the main there is very versatile early game removal. Abzan Charm, Collected Brutality, Dromoka's Command, Anguished Unmaking all work under varying circumstances and against varying archetypes.
2) Fatal Push is broken in this format.
-It kills nearly everything not named Emrakul.
-The revolt is so easy to trigger with fetches and I push it further by playing Evolving Wilds.
3) We have the best 3 and 4 drop plays in the format.
-At three Anafenza is so powerful and relevant in frontier. Liliana is a boss right now due to the heavy aggro nature of Frontier.
-At four we drop Siege Rhino and the game always swings back in your favor. Kalitas is pure beast in this deck as well, as we are constantly removing their threats. Sorin is also amazing as he serves the same purpose as our 4 drop creatures by clogging up the board and gaining us life. We have two 4 drop creatures with big asses and a PW that gain us back any life we have lost to the aggro decks, this is exactly where we want to be on turn 4.
4) We draw cards without having to use dedicated card draw.
-Abzan Charm is often removal but also serves as strong card draw, Tasigur is card draw on a big body, Liliana's minus ability is Pseudo card draw mid-late game, and having so many cards with three and four choices also is like having extra cards in your hand.
5) Avacyn.
-A turn 5 flashed Acacyn wrecks the day no matter what format. Avacyn is such amazing protection for Rhino and Anafenza.
-A flashed in Avacyn to block a flyer with Kalitas on the board is a free 2/2.
-If Avacyn flips, only Advocate can die on your side and a lot of games you will have 6 land by that point so Advocate would also survive.
6) The sideboard is so strong.
-While the main deck is versatile there are cards that are dedicated to creature heavy aggro decks. The sideboard lets us easily switch gears for aggro and midrange decks.
-We have great answers for Rally and CoCo.
-Yahenni's expertise is so powerful in this deck. I wanted to go main with it, but it is not always good in every matchup and 4cc is a strong slot for us.
-When this is sided in it drops some amazing cards for free- Liliana, Anafenza, any of the removal.
-The only card it kills on our board is Sylvan Advocate, but that is alright as we can just hold it to play afterwards or get it back with Lily or Tasigur.
Summary:
a) Amazing removal
b) Very potent midgame
c) Gain a ton of life to stabilize against aggro.
d) Very versatile spells.
e) We have multiple ways to refill our hand.
