Deck overview

This deck is a competitive Bant Midrange Combo list led by Shanna, Purifying Blade. It combines format-ceiling fast mana, dense low-cost tutors, and premier countermagic with high-impact stax pieces and compact infinite combos. The deck leverages early acceleration from mana dorks and zero-drop artifacts to deploy disruptive hatebears like Drannith Magistrate and Collector Ouphe alongside draw engines like Rhystic Study and The One Ring. Its primary win condition is the two-card combo of Heliod, Sun-Crowned and Walking Ballista, which eliminates all three opponents in a single turn at instant speed. The list also features redundant win paths including Kinnan with Basalt Monolith, a zero-basic Hermit Druid package into Thassa's Oracle, and Scurry Oak with Ivy Lane Denizen. Supported by Grand Abolisher and Silence effects, the deck protects its combo turns while disrupting faster opponents.
