Deck overview

This Azorius deck weaponizes symmetrical card draw to trigger powerful 'second card drawn each turn' payoffs. Commanded by King T'Challa, the deck breaks parity on group draw cards like Howling Mine, Dictate of Kruphix, and Font of Mythos by drawing extra cards on every opponent's turn while simultaneously creating large boards of creature tokens through Prince Imrahil the Fair, Alandra, Sky Dreamer, Detective of the Month, and Mischievous Mystic. Pillowfort enchantments such as Ghostly Prison and Propaganda protect the pilot from retaliatory attacks fueled by the extra cards given to opponents. The deck accelerates through its library at breakneck speed, finding its primary win condition in Approach of the Second Sun, which can be cast, redrawn within a single table rotation, and recast to close the game. Alternate win paths include lethal flying token beatdown buffed by Knowledge Is Power, mass mill through Psychic Corrosion, and alternate win triggers from Twenty-Toed Toad, Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, or Thassa's Oracle.
