Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Look, an Azorius Blink deck! Bet you've never seen one of these before!\n\nThis deck can go bonkers if you're allowed to set up. The basic deck tech is to get creatures onto the board, blink them out with Abdel (drawing cards as he enters), creating soldier tokens. Then blink Abdel to bring back anything you blinked out (which draws another card as Abdel leaves). When Abdel returns, blink out your board and create more tokens, rinse and repeat. \n\nThis deck is hard to deal with without multiple consecutive board wipes, because anything that is exiled dodges the board wipe and re-enters when Abdel is removed. If your opponents know what they're doing, Abdel becomes a magnet for removal. I removed some counterspells and protection to power down the deck for my table, but you could add them back in if you feel they are needed. \n\nSomething that goes under the radar is Abdel's ability to blink non-land permanents, not just creatures. If you're drawing too many cards with Kindred Discovery, blink it and name a random creature type when it reenters. If you're low on mana, blink out your mana rocks with him and return them to the battlefield untapped. \n\nAll-Stars of the deck are Harbin, Vanguard Aviator, Reverent Hoplite, Captain of the Watch, Displacer Kitten, Soulherder, Banner of Kinship, Githzerai Monk and Selfless Squire (which has saved me from getting one-shot twice). \n"}]}
