Deck overview

This deck is an Azorius Blink and Combat Control build commanded by Alora, Merry Thief paired with the Far Traveler Background. The central strategy exploits a clever rules interaction: Alora makes an attacking creature unblockable with a delayed trigger to bounce it at the end step, but Far Traveler's end-step trigger can exile and return that creature first, resetting its object identity to bypass the bounce while triggering its enter-the-battlefield ability. The deck leverages this repeatable loop across a suite of versatile utility creatures before escalating into game-dominating payoffs like Agent of Treachery, Elesh Norn, Mother of Machines, and Astral Dragon. Backed by efficient Azorius countermagic, spot exile, and board protection, the deck steadily grinds opponents out of resources and secures victory through sustained, unblockable combat pressure.
