Deck overview

This deck is an Abzan Toughness Aggro build centered around Felothar the Steadfast. It turns low-cost, high-toughness defenders into formidable offensive threats that assign combat damage using toughness rather than power. The mana base leverages defender-scaling ramp like Axebane Guardian and Overgrown Battlement to accelerate into the mid-game. Once Felothar is deployed, the deck converts high-toughness creatures into massive bursts of card advantage with zero discard penalty. It controls the table through asymmetric sweepers such as Slaughter the Strong, Wave of Reckoning, and Dusk // Dawn, which destroy opponents' large creatures while sparing its own 0-power defenders. Game-ending pressure is applied through sustained combat damage, supercharged by overrun effects like Akroma's Will, Tower Defense, Craterhoof Behemoth, and Finale of Devastation.
