Deck overview

This Orzhov deck is built around Elenda, Saint of Dusk, using lifegain triggers to transform the commander into a 10/10 menace beater while generating Angel tokens and draining opposing life totals. In the opening turns, low-cost creatures and artifacts like Soul Warden, Soul's Attendant, and Orzhov Signet build mana and life buffers. Deploying Elenda on Turn 4 positions the deck to exceed 50 life by Turn 6, granting her maximum power and evasion. Built-in hexproof from instants protects Elenda from common spot removal during attacks. As combat damage accumulates, synergistic payoffs such as Angelic Accord, Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose, Sanctum Seeker, and Debt to the Deathless accelerate damage across the table. The deck plays a steady midrange game, backed by board sweepers like Fumigate and attrition pieces like Painful Quandary to grind down opponents over sequential combat cycles.
