Felothar the Steadfast

Commander background
Deck description
Abzan Armor is a tough-creature commander deck led by Felothar the Steadfast, and its Abzan color identity (white/black/green) turns big toughness into real offense. Felothar lets defenders attack and makes every creature assign combat damage using toughness, so Walls, incidental blockers, and chunky utility bodies become legitimate threats. The board develops with early ramp and high-toughness creatures, then pressure builds through wide swings backed by toughness-based payoffs like Tower Defense, Assault Formation, and surprise combat math that punishes opponents who assume you’re only playing defense. Games tend to play at a steady, midrange pace with plenty of interaction and staying power. Abzan removal such as Swords to Plowshares, Anguished Unmaking, and Despark helps keep problem permanents off the table, while lifegain elements and resilient bodies buy time against faster decks. Felothar’s sacrifice ability converts a large-toughness creature into a burst of cards, keeping the plan fueled after wipes. Players who enjoy creature combat, incremental advantage, and straightforward upgrades can easily add more toughness-matters effects, protection, or additional draw engines.
