Deck overview

This deck is a 5-color political control and voting midrange deck helmed by Kenrith, the Returned King. It combines multiplayer voting mechanics, pillowfort enchantments, and council dilemmas to direct table attention away from itself while accumulating substantial card advantage and mana resources. The early game focuses on mana fixing and establishing protective barriers such as Ghostly Prison, Propaganda, and Smothering Tithe. In the mid-to-late game, the deck deploys potent voting commanders like Tivit, Seller of Secrets and manipulates votes using Ballot Broker, Brago's Representative, and Illusion of Choice. It closes games decisively through high-impact spells such as Expropriate and Approach of the Second Sun, an infinite mana loop via Basalt Monolith and Zirda, the Dawnwaker, or by utilizing Kenrith's activated abilities to grant trample, haste, and infinite counters to a massive creature board.
