Help
Deck : 'HangarSweeper_v1.0', by Eric Baes (created 2015-09-17)
Format : Standard THS BNG JOU M15 KTK FRF DTK ORI
Archetype : Abzan 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
Strengths : some card variety (1-offs); focused/reinforcing sideboard; solid 26 lands mana base (meeting 90% probability requirements, i.e. B=18/19, G=19, W=15/16), including 6 scry lands
Weaknesses : no turn 1 activity; limited card draw capability; some lands self-damage; 4 'Sandsteppe Citadel' (disrupting the scry and/or untapped lands balance/necessity/advantage)
Comment : at PPTQ Madrid: not good enough against primarily Abzan Aggro, Abzan Rally, Atarka Midrange, and Mono Red, however beating Abzan Control and Mono White
