Deck overview

This deck is an Azorius group hug and political control deck led by Sokrates, Athenian Teacher. The deck leverages political goodwill and symmetrical card draw to keep opponents satisfied while establishing a protective pillowfort with Propaganda, Blind Obedience, and Rest in Peace. Sokrates turns dangerous combat swings into shared card draw, buffering your life total and digging for win conditions. Once mana and resources stabilize around Turn 6, the deck pivots to decisive alternate win conditions, most notably Approach of the Second Sun. By drawing through the required cards with engines like The Council of Four, Folio of Fancies, or Consecrated Sphinx, the deck rapidly recasts Approach to seal victory on Turn 8. Backup lines leverage heavy group draw and mill effects to close out games via Thassa's Oracle or Laboratory Maniac. Efficient counterspells and protective spells ensure your late-game execution remains resilient against opposing disruption.
