Deck overview

The deck combines an enchantment-based Azorius value shell with a compact Heliod, Sun-Crowned and Walking Ballista combo. Its best route is to use Fabricate, Invasion of Theros, or The Arkenstone to access the missing combo role, develop mana, and grant Walking Ballista lifelink. The resulting loop deals lethal damage to all three opponents in the same turn. Outside the combo, Niko, Light of Hope creates Shard tokens that provide delayed card selection and can blink a nonlegendary creature, while cards such as Mesa Enchantress, Tocasia's Welcome, Enduring Innocence, and Ephara, God of the Polis support steady value. The interaction suite is broad but not dense enough for cEDH. Taxes and attack restrictions buy time without creating a hard lock. The main weaknesses are the combo's moderate setup time, limited protection, and dependence on finding both specific permanents.
