Deck overview

This Orzhov deck leverages King of the Oathbreakers to turn defensive phasing mechanics into a rapid token generation engine. Whenever a Spirit becomes the target of a spell, it phases out, blanking opposing point removal and returning on the next untap step to create a tapped 1/1 flying Spirit token. The deck weaponizes this interaction through inexpensive multi-targeting spells like Touch of Darkness, Heaven's Gate, and Cauldron Haze, which target every Spirit you control for a single mana to double your airborne army on the subsequent turn. Card draw engines keyed to creature and token entry keep the hand fueled with protection spells such as Clever Concealment and Teferi's Protection. The game concludes rapidly around Turn 7 via overwhelming flying combat damage amplified by anthems like Inspiring Leader or direct burn from Mirkwood Bats.
