Deck overview

This deck is a mono-white reanimator strategy built around Cyan, Vengeful Samurai. The game plan focuses on filling the graveyard quickly using self-mill artifacts, discard outlets, and small utility creatures. These stocked creatures drastically reduce Cyan's casting cost, allowing the commander to enter early for as little as one white mana. The deck then uses continuous reanimation engines such as Abiding Grace, Court of Ardenvale, and Sun Titan to return low-mana utility creatures to the battlefield. Every time a creature card leaves the graveyard, Cyan gains +1/+1 counters. Thanks to native double strike, Cyan rapidly scales into a lethal combat threat capable of eliminating opponents in single swings. Dedicated protection pieces like Selfless Savior and Selfless Spirit loop from the graveyard to keep the board resilient against sweepers, while cards like Ascend from Avernus provide explosive alternate finishes.
