Deck overview

This deck is a Jund Aristocrats engine built around Korvold, Fae-Cursed King. It uses low-cost mana dorks, rituals, and Treasure generators to deploy Korvold ahead of curve on Turn 4. Once on the battlefield, Korvold converts every sacrificed permanent into raw card advantage and +1/+1 counters. The deck rapidly digs through its library to assemble drain engines like Mayhem Devil and Mirkwood Bats, or its primary two-card infinite loop with Chatterfang, Squirrel General and Pitiless Plunderer. Dense fast mana allows the deck to maintain tempo while deploying protective spells like Veil of Summer and Defense Grid to secure its winning turn. While reliant on creature permanents that can be vulnerable to spot removal, Korvold's immediate card draw on entry and explosive Treasure generation allow the deck to recover quickly and finish games reliably by Turn 6.
