Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is an Orzhov aristocrats/value deck built around Shadowheart, Dark Justiciar and the Noble Heritage Background. The primary game plan is to generate value through sacrifice, +1/+1 counters, and death triggers, gradually accumulating life and card advantage. Shadowheart serves as a repeatable draw engine by sacrificing creatures with high power, while Noble Heritage provides counter distribution and conditional protection. The deck eventually wins through infinite combos like Exquisite Blood + Enduring Tenacity or Walking Ballista with Heliod, Sun-Crowned and life gain loops. It also has a resilient board presence with Avacyn, Angel of Hope, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, and Grave Pact to control the table. The deck is a midrange value engine that can pivot between combat and combo finishes.
