Dawn to Dusk by Abelvox

Format: Commander

Commander: Elenda, Saint of Dusk

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

An Orzhov lifegain deck built to turn life-gain triggers into a bigger board and a huge Elenda, Saint of Dusk. Early Soul Warden/Auriok Champion effects push life above 40, unlocking Elenda's Menace and the +5/+5 bonus. Secondary lines include a hidden Elenda, the Dusk Rose sacrifice/token engine, incremental drain from Blood Artist and Kambal, and a late copied Exsanguinate from Stensian Sanguinist. The deck cannot go infinite; it wins through commander damage and combat while using Well of Lost Dreams and Alhammarret's Archive to keep the hand full.
