Deck overview

This Orzhov deck is an Aristocrats combo engine commanded by Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight. The primary strategy leverages Isilu, Carrier of Twilight's static ability, which grants persist to all other nontoken creatures. When combined with undying creatures like Butcher Ghoul or Geralf's Messenger, or counter nullifiers like Solemnity, any free sacrifice outlet creates an infinite loop. When an undying creature dies, it returns with a +1/+1 counter; sacrificing it again triggers persist, returning it with a -1/-1 counter that cancels out the +1/+1 counter as a state-based action. The deck converts infinite death triggers into lethal life loss with aristocrat payoffs like Blood Artist, Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim, and Marionette Apprentice, or mills libraries with Altar of Dementia. Dense mana acceleration, draw engines, and redundant combo pieces ensure reliable Turn 4 to 5 wins with resilient non-commander backup lines.
