Deck overview

This deck is a political control and forced-combat strategy led by Nelly Borca, Impulsive Accuser. The game plan revolves around goading opposing threats, sheltering behind pillowfort defenses like Ghostly Prison and Windborn Muse, and incentivizing opponents to eliminate one another. Nelly Borca generates card advantage whenever opponents connect with each other, keeping the deck fueled while opponents exhaust their resources. In the late game, the deck leverages damage amplifiers such as Fiendish Duo and Gisela, Blade of Goldnight, combat theft via Hot Pursuit, or retaliatory damage redirection spells like Deflecting Palm and Comeuppance to execute the final surviving opponent. The deck excels at navigating casual, creature-dense metas but struggles against non-combat combo strategies and lacks targeted instant-speed removal or dedicated protection for its commander.
