Deck overview

This deck pairs Kenrith, the Returned King with Zirda, the Dawnwaker as a companion, constructing the entire permanent suite with activated abilities to satisfy Zirda's companion clause. The deck leverages heavy cycling packages that cycle for a single mana under Zirda, digging rapidly through the library while triggering payoffs like Curator of Mysteries and Drannith Stinger. The primary win condition is an infinite mana loop using Composite Golem and Kenrith with cost reduction from Zirda or Biomancer's Familiar. Once infinite mana is established, Kenrith forces each opponent to draw out their entire deck or distributes infinite +1/+1 counters and haste for a lethal swing. A secondary infinite colorless mana combo with Basalt Monolith powers Staff of Domination and Walking Ballista. The deck generates immense card advantage and recovery through Kenrith, balanced by modest proactive interaction and moderate vulnerability to instant-speed creature removal.
