The recent deck archetype that was triumphant on last weekend’s StarcityGames Standard Open tournament was Abzan Rally by Ray Tautic. The deck’s initial strategy is to fill up the graveyard with critters while ramping up with the mana dudes. The next plan is to cast a huge Rally the Ancestors getting back all of the creatures and attacking for a lethal damage via a hasty and intimidate Mogis’s Marauder.
