Slow, scry, and surveil by DCheck

Deck overview

This deck utilizes Denzilore Fatehold to convert continuous scry and surveil triggers into an expanding board-wide army of +1/+1 counters. Early turns focus on deploying cheap, evasive enablers such as Nightveil Sprite, Fear of Surveillance, and Artificer's Assistant alongside asymmetric tap-stax pieces like Blind Obedience, Authority of the Consuls, and Thalia, Heretic Cathar. Once Denzilore enters play, recurring scry and surveil triggers from attacks, upkeep effects, and cheap cantrips continuously buff the entire team. Stax elements prevent opponents from mounting early haste attacks or effective blocking, while evasion enablers like Herald of Secret Streams, Sun Quan, Lord of Wu, and Chocobo Knights guarantee unblockable, lethal combat connections. Although the deck lacks stack interaction and instant-speed sweepers, its dense selection, layered board protection, and steady stat scaling reliably close out multiplayer games across multiple combat steps.
