Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov cycling, blink, and graveyard reanimator deck commanded by Neva, Stalked by Nightmares. The primary strategy focuses on smoothing early mana development using cheap landcyclers like Troll of Khazad-dûm and Eagles of the North, followed by assembling blink engines with Astral Slide or Astral Drift. Once these enchantments are online, every cycled card triggers an instant-speed flicker effect on creatures with powerful enter-the-battlefield abilities such as Neva, Stalked by Nightmares, Entomber Exarch, and Angel of the Ruins. This loop generates continuous card advantage, controls opposing boards, and fills the graveyard. In the late game, the deck pivots into game-ending pressure by deploying Archfiend of Ifnir to continuously sweep opposing creatures or casting mass reanimation spells like Herald of the Forgotten and Ascend from Avernus. The resulting board of evasive flyers and token swarms finishes opponents through combat over two attack rotations.
