Abzan Armor Deck Notes

Felothar the Steadfast commands an Abzan toughness-matters deck where your best attackers start life as brick walls. You load the battlefield with high-toughness creatures, then use Felothar and support cards to turn that defense into offense, card advantage, or both. The play pattern is pleasantly grindy: develop resilient bodies, make combat awkward for opponents, and steadily accrue value from the stats you already have. Most wins come from converting that toughness into a lethal combat step, either by buffing the team, giving your walls the ability to swing safely, or leveraging effects that care about high toughness for extra damage. Because your creatures are naturally hard to kill in combat, you can pressure life totals while still staying back on defense, which is a nice way to survive messy multiplayer boards. The deck rewards patient sequencing more than flashy lines, and it scales well with upgrades that add efficient high-toughness bodies and stronger payoffs. If you like Abzan decks that feel sturdy instead of fragile, this one is a great fit.
