Mira lo que dice LSV en un artículo hoy sobre el abbot. Habla de su inclusión en un mazo standard concreto mono rojo agro que es un arquetipo que se puede draftear perfectamente en tu cubo, pero este bicho en concreto lo veo también utilizable en control y otros arquetipos por la ventaja de cartas que da.

CitarBy far the biggest gain from Origins, and the biggest reason for the resurgence of Mono-Red, is Abbot of Keral Keep. Abbot is a two-drop creature that attacks for 3 or even 4 damage the following turn, all while drawing you a card much of the time. Sometimes you do run Abbot out on turn two and eschew the extra card, but most of the time you will at least get a shot at drawing a land (remember to cast Abbot before playing one), and the cards in this deck are cheap enough that finding something to play is not very difficult.
