Deck overview

This Mono-White deck is commanded by Dack Fayden, Helping Hand, focusing on a forced-combat strategy that accelerates the game through asymmetric goad mechanics. Supported by a robust mana ramp package featuring Sol Ring, Pearl Medallion, and colorless rocks, the deck aims to cast Dack on Turn 5. Upon entry, Dack reveals cards from the library to donate three creatures directly to opponents, permanently goaded. A dense package of 18 flicker and blink spells, including Restoration Angel, Felidar Guardian, and Teleportation Circle, retriggers Dack's ability on subsequent turns to flood the battlefield with goaded threats. Opponents are forced into brutal mutual combat while you remain safe from attacks. Once the opposing life totals are depleted, the deck finishes the game using Homeward Path to reclaim all owned beaters, Subjugator Angel to tap down opposing blockers, or board resets like Sunblast Angel and Tragic Arrogance to eliminate the final survivor on Turn 8.
