Deck overview

This Orzhov deck is a dedicated Aristocrats combo strategy centered around infinite persist and sacrifice loops. Led by Eirdu, Carrier of Dawn // Isilu, Carrier of Twilight, the list focuses on assembling interchangeable multi-card engines to drain opponents simultaneously. The primary win condition combines a persist creature such as Putrid Goblin with a counter-canceling piece like Solemnity or Vizier of Remedies, a free sacrifice outlet like Carrion Feeder or Ashnod's Altar, and a drain payoff like Blood Artist. Backup lines include the two-card combos of Heliod, Sun-Crowned with Walking Ballista and Mikaeus, the Unhallowed with Triskelion. The deck operates on a standard mana curve supported by two-mana artifact ramp and robust creature reanimation. Because its loops kill the entire table on the turn they resolve, it presents a fast clock once assembled, though it remains vulnerable to targeted removal and graveyard exile.
