Deck overview

This Orzhov deck uses Squall, SeeD Mercenary to lead a potent hybrid strategy of Voltron pressure, stax control, and graveyard recursion. Squall grants himself double strike whenever he attacks alone. Because his reanimation trigger fires on combat damage to a player, connecting with double strike returns two permanents with mana value 3 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield every turn. The deck breaks parity on symmetric sacrifice creatures like Accursed Marauder and Demon's Disciple by sacrificing them and immediately returning them to play during combat. Meanwhile, rule-of-law and taxing pieces like Archon of Emeria and Aura of Silence slow down opposing game plans. With defensive pieces like Selfless Spirit and Boromir, Warden of the Tower ready to be reanimated on demand, Squall creates a durable engine that dismantles opposing boards while knocking out players with commander damage.
