So has Abzan Company just over taken this deck as "little Abzan"? I haven't seen our deck represented in any events recently. What changes do we need to make for the current meta?

I'm not convinced on Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit. Admittedly, I haven't tried it, but Loxodon Smiter just has *so* many benefits. It doesn't die to Lightning Bolt which is huge considering it is one of the most played cards in modern. Like we already stated, Smiter loves discard and Jund plays bolt and Liliana of the Veil which makes him great in that match up. We have acceleration but no real way to abuse Anafenza. Lingering Souls doesn't trigger her (if tokens did, she would be broken). Before I picked this deck up, I was playing Mono-White Death and Taxes with her as a two-of. There, with Aether Vial and the flicker effects from Flickerwisp and Restoration Angel, Anafenza could be abused. However, as I discussed earlier, I never got to stick her long. She always died to a bolt or a Path to Exile on sight. Additionally, without bolster effects, Anafenza only becomes a 3/3 with Wilt-Leaf Liege. Smiter can swing for 6 on T3 if you play a Liege which isn't something to take lightly! Just my thoughts. Please discuss!

1.) Any tips for the incoming G/R Tron and Jund influx?
2.) Has anyone tried Golgari Charm in the sideboard or Abzan Charm? I feel like these both have relevant modes that could be useful. In the same idea, Dromoka's Command could also be useful out of the side board.

I was reading through the primer again, and I found a mistake:
Aven Mindscensor - Double edged sword. We have a big mana bass that requires fetches, so it hurts us there, but we do have a good number of dorks. However, against amulet bloom it just wins. It also makes our paths that much more sexy. Less important now that Pod has fallen, but can hurt Tron a lot as well. A good card to consider.
Aven Mindcensor says *opponents*... It doesn't hurt us fetching. Also I want some mana bass.

For the dork version, I see a lot of people running the full 8 Birds of Paradise and Noble Hierarch combination. Is 6 the better number? I see Emracool say he thinks a 3/3 split of the two is most appropriate.

Wooded Foothills let you fetch both. The only land you won't be able to search is Godless Shrine. Verdant, however, can fetch the basic swamp, what could be relevant in matches where you can't afford the 2 life payment for the untapped shockland.
Good point. Thanks! I might try it for fun while I wait to see if the Zendikar shocks get reprinted in the fall.

Are there any replacements for Verdant Catacombs? I've got all the Khans fetches...I imagine there isn't. Catacombs lets us go fetch a Temple Garden or Overgrown Tomb...
