Deck overview

This Orzhov deck is a classic ETB-blink value engine helmed by Syr Vondam, Sunstar Exemplar. It plays a stream of cheap enters-the-battlefield creatures, then abuses a dense suite of flicker effects - Teleportation Circle, Conjurer's Closet, Ephemerate, Restoration Angel - to replay them every turn. Syr turns each exile/death of another creature into +1/+1 counters and life, eventually becoming either a commander-damage closer or an on-the-way-out removal spell if he dies/exiles at 4+ power. The deck can also win through a giant Gray Merchant of Asphodel drain, a Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward token flood, or the Felidar Guardian + Restoration Angel infinite-flicker loop, which makes Syr arbitrarily large. With almost no real tutors, it plays a fair, grind-value game rather than a fast combo game.
