Deck overview

This deck is a mono-white blink midrange and combo strategy commanded by Preston, the Vanisher. The primary game plan revolves around casting creatures with powerful enter-the-battlefield abilities and blinking them to trigger Preston, generating 0/1 Illusion copies that double every effect. The deck accumulates extensive card advantage through cantrip creatures like Wall of Omens and Inspiring Overseer before pivoting into deterministic infinite blink loops. The primary win condition combines Felidar Guardian with Restoration Angel or instant-speed blink spells, allowing infinite blinks that untap lands, draw the entire deck, and drain the table with Radiant Solar via dungeon venture triggers. Strong instant-speed protection like Ephemerate and Eerie Interlude shields key permanents, while stax elements like Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines hinder opposing game plans.
