Deck overview

This deck is a four-color Group Hug and Pillowfort strategy led by Kynaios and Tiro of Meletis. It accelerates all players with symmetrical card draw and extra land drops using engines like Howling Mine, Font of Mythos, Dictate of Kruphix, and Rites of Flourishing. While opponents enjoy abundant resources, the deck establishes formidable defensive barriers using Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, Sphere of Safety, Windborn Muse, and Pramikon, Sky Rampart to ensure attacks are directed elsewhere. Card draw fuels alternate win conditions, primarily casting Approach of the Second Sun and digging back to it within two turn rotations, burning the table with Psychosis Crawler alongside wheels like Windfall and Reforge the Soul, or assembling 10 distinct Gates to activate Maze's End. The deck trades early aggression for political goodwill and late-game inevitability.
