Deck overview

This Orzhov deck blends lifegain, stax attrition, and compact two-card infinite combos led by Liesa, Shroud of Dusk. Liesa bypasses traditional commander tax by paying 2 life per recast, ensuring persistent pressure while taxing every spell cast by 2 life. Early turns establish mana rocks and deploy disruptive hate pieces like Drannith Magistrate, Dauthi Voidwalker, and Kambal, Consul of Allocation to shut down opposing commanders and graveyards. Powerful draw engines such as Trouble in Pairs, Necropotence, and Black Market Connections replenish resources and dig toward win conditions. The deck closes games swiftly on Turn 5 through redundant infinite combos: either Heliod, Sun-Crowned granting lifelink to Walking Ballista for infinite ping damage, or Exquisite Blood looping with Sanguine Bond, Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose, or Bloodthirsty Conqueror to drain the entire table instantly.
