This has gotta be spam. On the other hand, I imagine many truly are frustrated in their quest for a 92 rated Ben Mee, and considering EA is a dark and fickle entity, I pray for their sanity.
There are layers to this though: why is the thread tagged as Abzan? What kind of spambot would do such a thing?

Abzan is the first alphabetical tag.

I love it how now it looks like I posted this stupid thread just to remind everyone that this is a forum for magic the gathering. Just in case y'all forgot.

Because of the
Bribery at FIFA, they need a
Decree of Justice brought on them.
On football puns, I'd just give them a
Swift Kick to the
Nut Collector for their
Tendrils of Corruption.

Is this the first time one of these spam threads has been allowed to exist after the OP got deleted? I feel like this now a challenge for us to make a football-themed Abzan deck? Who'd be the general? Kethis, for Commentary?

There's not a lot of "ball" cards, but there are quite a decent number of spheres.

Maybe it's an eggs deck? Or pillowfort enchantments? Or some unholy hybrid?

The
40k Blood bowl drop is bringing a few alt-art cards for
Re-Roll,
Touchdown!,
Throw Team-Mate,
Both Down,
The Ball, and
Perfect Defense, all of which seem like solid choices for a football-themed deck. Or so I assume, at least. Football has teammate-throwing, right?
Beyond that, I imagine some of the Battlebond and Strixhaven cards fit (i.e.
Strixhaven Stadium).

As bad as it is, we probably need to run
Foot Soldiers.
It's a shame we can't use
Spinning Wheel Kick to win the game. GOOOOOAAAAAAL!!!!

So if we're building a Magical Abzan Football team, we need a team structure. I say we field a 3-5-2 formation to maximize attacking potential, defensive solidity, and control over possession i.e. a midrange rock-esque deck. I propose
Doran, the Siege Tower to lead, because he's moving pretty fast for a tree and he's unlikely to flop due to his manly toughness.

Lots of kicking going on in the Abzan
Stronghold Arena.

You think
Doran, the Siege Tower would make a good linebacker? What about
Kethis, the Hidden Hand?

I dunno,
Arcades, the Strategist has been a heck of a coach. Not sure how we're gonna beat that team.

Well I'd say Kicker will be a key mechanic.
Flanking, First Strike, Rebound. Dash, Assist, Training, Squad are other nice ones.
You can even throw in a few Champion, Miracle and Dethrone for the big matches.

Oko, Thief of Crowns is in the spirit and all with having painted his own body but the dude is banned from every stadium because he keeps sneaking in his own food.

I mean, let's compare. Imagine you're Alisson Becker, the goalie for Liverpool (Klopp 4ever!) and one of the best defensive players in modern Football. You're away from home, in the Old Trafford stadium against your hated rivals Manchester United. It's 70 minutes into the game, and Liverpool has a small 2-1 lead but that path to victory is tenuous. Substitutions occur, and suddenly, barreling towards you with possession of the ball, is a magical figure in a red/white uniform.
Now, in that scenario, which would be more frightening: a 30 foot tall tree man or some dude with a pen who's into mythology and name-dropping?

Definitely the 30ft tree.

This is an under-rated joke.
