Deck overview

This deck is a 5-color enchantment control strategy centered around Hei Bai, Forest Guardian and Shrine synergies. The primary game plan accelerates mana on turns 1 and 2 to cast Hei Bai on turn 3 or 4. When Hei Bai enters the battlefield, it searches the library for a Shrine and puts it directly into play. The deck then multiplies this trigger using blink spells like Ephemerate, Soulherder, and Displacer Kitten to build a critical mass of Shrines rapidly. Once five or more Shrines are in play, continuous triggers from Sanctum of Stone Fangs, Northern Air Temple, and Sanctum of All drain opposing life totals, generate token armies, and draw large quantities of cards. Defensive pieces like Sphere of Safety and Solitary Confinement protect your life total while you accumulate lethal burn and combat damage to eliminate all three opponents by turn 8.
