Deck overview

This Orzhov deck is a legendary-tribal midrange build helmed by Ardbert, Warrior of Darkness, whose trigger turns every white spell into a +1/+1 counter and vigilance anthem and every black spell into a +1/+1 counter and menace anthem for all legendary creatures. The 99 is packed with legendary creatures that feed a +1/+1 counter, sacrifice, and recursion engine. The primary win is combat damage from a pumped legendary board, amplified by Arvad the Cursed, Flowering of the White Tree, and Heroes' Podium. Secondary lines include Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim drain and mass reanimation via Primevals' Glorious Rebirth. The deck grinds value through Liesa, Forgotten Archangel, Carmen, Cruel Skymarcher, and Squall, SeeD Mercenary, aiming to outlast opponents and close with an overwhelming swing.
