Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov lifegain and attrition midrange strategy led by Sorin of House Markov. It operates by establishing low-cost lifegain enablers such as Soul Warden and Creeping Bloodsucker alongside taxing permanents like Blind Obedience and Kambal, Consul of Allocation. Gaining three or more life reliably transforms Sorin into a planeswalker who produces Food tokens and dishes out direct-damage bursts equal to life gained. As the game develops, the deck stacks redundant drain triggers from cards like Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose, Starscape Cleric, and Enduring Tenacity. The deck builds toward a critical onset around Turn 6, deploying game-swinging drain bombs such as Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, or Revival // Revenge. Over two response cycles of continuous attrition, combat damage, and burst drain, the deck systematically depletes all three opponents' life totals while maintaining a healthy life buffer.
