Deck overview

This deck is an Abzan Enchantress combo strategy commanded by Anikthea, Hand of Erebos. Its primary game plan revolves around generating infinite mana using Sanctum Weaver enchanted by Gauntlets of Light, provided at least four total enchantments are in play. Once infinite mana of all colors is achieved, the deck activates Gleaming Splendor repeatedly to force all three opponents to draw their entire libraries, closing the game in a single turn without passing priority or giving opponents a response cycle. A dense suite of tutors bridges the combo pieces, while engines like Sythis, Harvest's Hand and Setessan Champion keep cards flowing. The deck shields its critical turn using potent silence effects like Grand Abolisher and Silence. If the primary combo is disrupted, the deck smoothly transitions into an aggressive token beatdown strategy led by Anikthea, reanimating massive value enchantments and closing combat with Akroma's Will.
