Deck overview

This is a Bant blink/flicker value deck helmed by Roon of the Hidden Realm, built to generate overwhelming card advantage by re-triggering a dense suite of enter-the-battlefield creatures. The core loop is simple: deploy ETB value creatures, then blink them repeatedly through Roon's activated ability and a deep redundancy of repeatable blink engines (Soulherder, Conjurer's Closet, Teleportation Circle, Lilysplash Mentor) to draw cards, ramp lands, and remove opposing permanents turn after turn. The deck closes games through combat inevitability - Avenger of Zendikar creating a massive Plant army, Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines doubling every ETB and pumping the board, and Roon himself beating down with vigilance and trample. Secondary lines include mana loops with Peregrine Drake and Cloud of Faeries to power out huge plays, and recursion via Eternal Witness, Archaeomancer, and Sevinne's Reclamation to grind through attrition. It is a patient, value-dense strategy that wins by out-resourcing three opponents rather than assembling a fast combo.
