Deck overview

Orzhov token-and-sacrifice value deck centered on Syr Vondam, Sunstar Exemplar. Syr grows whenever another creature dies or is exiled, then turns his own death/exile into nonland permanent removal once he reaches 4 power. The primary plan is to flood the board with Human/Goblin/Squirrel tokens, drain with Elas il-Kor and Bastion of Remembrance, and finish with Cathars' Crusade-boosted combat. Secondary paths are recursive Aristocrats loops, repeated instant-speed flicker of Syr, and wide commander-combat swings with Blade of Selves/Adeline. There is no hidden commander; Backgrounds such as Agent of the Shadow Thieves are support pieces, not a second commander.
