Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov lifegain beatdown strategy commanded by Elenda, Saint of Dusk. The primary game plan focuses on gaining life during the opening turns to cross the 50-life threshold. Once online, Elenda enters as a massive 10/10 lifelinking creature with menace and built-in hexproof from instant spells. This innate protection allows the deck to swing aggressively without fear of common spot removal. The deck accelerates kills using double strike and unblockable effects while draining the entire table through cards like Defiling Daemogoth and Exsanguinate. It features a resilient midgame supported by Karlov of the Ghost Council as a potent secondary threat, alongside sweepers and targeted exile spells to maintain board supremacy.
