Deck overview

This deck is a mono-white control and blink strategy led by Dack Fayden, Helping Hand. The core game plan revolves around ramping into Dack Fayden on turn 5, whose enter-the-battlefield trigger cheats three large creatures directly from the library onto the battlefield under opponents' control, permanently goaded. Because these threats cannot attack the pilot, opponents are forced into aggressive, mutual combat attrition starting on turn 6. The deck then breaks parity using an extensive package of flicker effects that can exile creatures 'owned' by the pilot—such as Charming Prince, Flickerwisp, and Slip On the Ring—to reclaim control of the gifted monsters. Asymmetric wipes like Ob Nixilis, the Ascended and Ori, Plate Stacker punish tapped creatures and opposing nonland permanents, clearing the path to victory by turn 8. Strong defensive flicker spells like Eerie Interlude protect the board while the table grinds itself down.
