Deck overview

This is a Abzan Walls/toughness-matters midrange deck helmed by Felothar the Steadfast. The plan is to flood the board with high-toughness defenders, then use Felothar (and backup enablers) so those walls assign combat damage equal to toughness and can attack through defender. Primary wins come from grinding opponents down with oversized wall swings, capped by haymakers like The Walls of Ba Sing Se, Ancient Adamantoise, and Tree of Perdition's life-total swap. Betor, Kin to All and Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper convert a thick toughness board into drain and lifegain. Felothar is also a sacrifice-based draw engine that turns spare walls into cards. The deck has no infinite combos; it wins through combat inevitability, life manipulation, and incremental value.
