Deck overview

This Orzhov deck is built around Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight, utilizing the transformed commander Isilu, Carrier of Twilight to grant persist to all other nontoken creatures. The primary game plan seeks to ramp into Eirdu by Turn 4, transform into Isilu on Turn 5, and resolve Triskelion. Because Triskelion enters with +1/+1 counters that cancel out persist's -1/-1 counter, Triskelion can ping opponents and itself repeatedly to generate an infinite damage loop that finishes the game in the same turn. The list supports this combo with a dense suite of Orzhov removal (Swords to Plowshares, Snuff Out, Anguished Unmaking), card flow engines (Skullclamp, Grim Haruspex, Necropotence), and robust protection spells (Silence, Flare of Fortitude, Bilbo's Gambit). High-impact backup threats like Razaketh, the Foulblooded and Hoarding Broodlord provide redundant paths to assemble the win if the primary line is contested.
