Deck overview

This deck is a high-power Orzhov lifegain combo strategy centered on turning life point swings into card advantage and lethal damage loops. The commander, Niv-Mizzet, Ghost Counsel, acts as an efficient draw engine and lifegain outlet that converts life gained into fresh cards. The primary win condition combines Exquisite Blood with Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose or Starscape Cleric to drain all three opponents from 40 to 0 in a single turn. Powerful black tutors and card-advantage engines like Necropotence, The One Ring, and Bolas's Citadel ensure reliable access to combo pieces. A secondary win line leverages Bolas's Citadel, Sensei's Divining Top, and Aetherflux Reservoir to draw the library and eliminate the table. The deck manages opposing threats through premium removal such as Swords to Plowshares, Toxic Deluge, and Farewell, while defensive spells like Silence and Teferi's Protection protect critical combo turns.
