Deck overview

This deck leverages Hope Estheim to convert lifegain into a potent multiplayer mill engine. In the early game, cheap lifegain creatures like Soul Warden, Soul's Attendant, and Serra Ascendant establish a stable life total while triggering Hope Estheim to chip away at opposing libraries on each end step. Mid-game engines like Rhox Faithmender, Boon Reflection, and Alhammarret's Archive amplify lifegain, while stax pieces like Rest in Peace and Ghostly Prison protect your life total and prevent opponents from using their full graveyards. The deck transitions into a lethal threat around turn 6 by resolving high-yield multipliers such as Beacon of Immortality or Bruvac the Grandiloquent, depleting entire libraries in a single turn cycle. Backup routes through Aetherflux Reservoir and Archangel of Thune provide alternate combat and direct-damage finishes if mill is restricted.
