Deck overview

This deck is a mono-white control and combat-manipulation strategy helmed by Dack Fayden, Helping Hand. The game plan revolves around ramping to 6 mana by Turn 5 to cast Dack, whose enters ability reveals cards from the library to cheat 3 high-impact creatures directly onto the battlefield under opponents' control, permanently goaded. By loading the deck with monstrous Eldrazi and evasive beaters like Pathrazer of Ulamog, Ulamog's Crusher, Breaker of Armies, and Zetalpa, Primal Dawn, the pilot forces opponents into mutually destructive combat while Annihilator triggers strip their permanents. The deck utilizes blink effects like Flickerwisp, Restoration Angel, and Another Round to re-trigger Dack or reclaim ownership of creatures, alongside The Fall of Lord Konda // Fragment of Konda to take back all permanents. Supported by premier white spot removal and asymmetric board wipes, the deck watches opponents decimate each other before sweeping in for the final kill.
