Felisa, culling the strong. by Zalovg

Format: Commander

Commander: Felisa, Fang of Silverquill

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an Orzhov aristocrats deck built around Felisa, Fang of Silverquill's ability to convert dying, counter-laden nontoken creatures into swarms of flying Inkling tokens. The plan layers +1/+1-counter enablers (Cathars' Crusade, The Ozolith, Rosie Cotton of South Lane) with dense sacrifice outlets and a classic drain package (Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, Cruel Celebrant, Bastion of Remembrance, The Meathook Massacre). Felisa is a strong payoff rather than a hard engine-the 99 already runs self-sufficient aristocrats lines through Elenda, the Dusk Rose, Teysa Karlov, Mondrak, Glory Dominus, and mass recursion like Living Death and Funeral Room // Awakening Hall. Wins come from attrition drains, overwhelming flying boards, and recursive combat rather than infinite combos. The deck plays as a grindy midrange value machine that thrives on creatures dying.
