Deck overview

This deck is a specialized Enchantress Control build focused on Rooms, helmed by Marina Vendrell. It leverages five colors to assemble defensive pillow-fort barriers that deter combat attacks while accumulating card advantage through enchantments. Early turns focus on mana fixing and ramping into Marina Vendrell, who acts as both a card-advantage engine and a cost-cheating enabler for expensive Room doors. The primary route to victory is unlocking eight differently named Room doors to trigger the alternate win condition on Promising Stairs. As a secondary plan, Starfield of Nyx can animate the board into an overwhelming combat force. The deck features strong single-target interaction and protective enchantments like Sterling Grove to defend its board state, but it remains somewhat vulnerable to sweepers that exile enchantments.
