Deck overview

This is a five-color Shrine value engine rather than a combo deck. Hei Bai, Forest Guardian acts as an ETB tutor that puts the most important Shrine - usually Sanctum of All - directly onto the battlefield, and later becomes a token generator. The plan is to stack Shrines until their triggers snowball: Sanctum of Stone Fangs and Northern Air Temple drain the table, Honden of Infinite Rage and Go-Shintai of Ancient Wars shoot, Honden of Seeing Winds and Sanctum of Calm Waters draw, and Honden of Life's Web, Go-Shintai of Shared Purpose, and Crescent Island Temple build a wide board. A substantial blink package - Brago, King Eternal, Soulherder, Abuelo, Ancestral Echo, Conjurer's Closet, and Ephemerate - re-triggers Shrine ETBs and Hei Bai. The deck wins by attrition: table-wide life loss, direct damage, and a growing token army, capped by Sanctum of All doubling every other Shrine trigger once the count reaches six.
