Deck overview

This deck is a high-power Orzhov Aristocrats strategy helmed by Liesa, Forgotten Archangel. The game plan balances board control, asymmetric graveyard hate, and recurring card advantage with a compact infinite combo finish. Early turns focus on deploying mana rocks, low-cost sacrifice outlets, and incremental card-draw engines. In the midgame, casting Liesa, Forgotten Archangel shuts down opposing death triggers and graveyard recursion while recurring your own nontoken creatures every end step. The deck closes games either through cumulative aristocrat life-drain triggers or by assembling the infinite two-card combo of Exquisite Blood or Bloodthirsty Conqueror with Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose or Enduring Tenacity. With dense single-target removal, strong token generation, and targeted protection spells, the deck generates consistent resource advantages and can pivot seamlessly between protracted grind games and sudden, same-turn combo victories.
