Deck 'HangarSweeper_v0.1'

Help
Deck : 'HangarSweeper_v0.1', by Eric Baes (created 2015-08-21)
Format : Standard THS BNG JOU M15 KTK FRF DTK ORI
Archetype : Abzan Midrange/Control
Colors : BGW
Plan A : sweep primarily opponent creatures; graveyard recursion; go big(ger)/wide(r)
Plan B : (chump) block; add +1/+1 counters; spot removal; hexproof/deathtouch creature
Strengths : spot removal genericity; tutoring; focused/reinforcing sideboard removal + low(er)-curve creatures; 1 main color (B); solid 26 lands mana base (exceeding 90% probability requirements, i.e. B=19, G=13, W=13), including 10 scry lands
Weaknesses : no mana ramping; death-by-mulligan risk (i.e. relatively high mana curve); not much (or forced inferior) first 2 turns activity; limited card draw capability; non-zero lands self-damage
Comment : barely tested, but good performance against Mono Black and a weaker version of Bant Heroic
