Deck overview

This deck is a toughness-matters strategy helmed by Felothar the Steadfast. The primary game plan uses a dense core of high-toughness creatures, especially walls, to establish a defensive board while the commander's activated ability converts them into card advantage. The deck also includes multiple effects that let creatures assign combat damage using toughness (Assault Formation, Doran, the Siege Tower, Doran, Besieged by Time), turning the same walls into formidable attackers. Secondary win conditions revolve around life gain: Enduring Tenacity turns life gain into direct damage, Felidar Sovereign offers an alternative victory at 40 life, and Betor, Kin to All provides incremental value and a life-loss payoff. Protection via Ghostway and Eerie Interlude preserves the board through sweepers, while Sun Titan and Resolute Archangel provide recursion and life reset. The deck is a resilient midrange build that can pivot between a defensive card-draw mode and an aggressive toughness-based assault.
