Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This Orzhov lifegain deck helmed by Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim aims to establish a board of creatures with lifelink and +1/+1 counters, leveraging incremental life gain to trigger payoffs like Ajani's Pridemate and Fiendish Panda. The commander's sacrifice ability provides conditional removal once you reach 50+ life, but the deck lacks a focused, high-speed win condition. Primary victory paths are combat damage from a modest creature suite, supported by the occasional Exsanguinate as a finisher. The deck is a casual, midrange value pile with a cat subtheme; it has no infinite combos, limited tutors, and a low density of interaction, making it reliant on the commander for removal and life gain synergy.
