Deck overview

This deck is an aggressive, synergy-driven Esper deck helmed by Arna Kennerüd, Skycaptain. It blends a unique 9-Nazgûl Wraith package with equipment, auras, and counter doubling. Early turns focus on establishing evasive or modified threats, using Ring tempt triggers to stack +1/+1 counters on Wraiths. Once Arna enters the battlefield, any attack by a modified creature exponentially scales its power by doubling all counters and creating token copies of attached permanents like Swords or protection gear. Supported by flexible clone effects, robust phase-out protection, and premium spot removal, the deck transitions quickly from setup into overwhelming combat pressure that closes out tables in two combat cycles.
