Description
{"ops":[{"insert":"This deck does everything I love doing in magic; drawing cards, sacrificing creatures, reanimating things, making tokens, and getting tons and tons of value.\n\nI keep seeing people pairing Abdel with Agent of the Iron Throne or Candlekeep Sage, but I prefer Cultist of the Absolute for a few reasons. Firstly, and most importantly, Cultist provides an albeit slow engine for the pilot to use and abuse. Find a way to consistently reanimate Abdel from there and you have a pretty solid loop every turn cycle. Secondly, Cultist comes down on turn 1, which enables things like Deadly Rolick or similar cards. Finally, Cultist provides a combat avenue that other backgrounds simply do not. Having a 7/7 Flying Deathtouching blocker is quite the deterrent as it turns out. It's even more terrifying when it's chucking lifetotals!\n\nThe gameplan is simple: ramp, keep your opponents boards in check with the numerous edict effects in the list, discard cards from their hands to keep their options limited, then combo out by repeatedly sacrificing and reanimating Abdel and flickering cards like Hopeless Nightmare, Meteorite, and Oath of Kaya to deal direct damage to your opponent's faces.\n\nThis deck is oppressive when it gets off the ground, but it's ultimately very fair. There are windows where a single piece of targeted removal at the right time can devastate your gameplan. Graveyard hate can also be tricky to play around. The deck does well against aggro and midrange strategies, but struggles a bit against control. Just remember to keep your wits about you and your opponents hands empty!\n"}]}
