Deck overview

This is a classic Orzhov token-aristocrats build helmed by Teysa Karlov, whose doubling of death triggers and granting of vigilance/lifelink to tokens anchors the entire plan. The deck generates a wide board of Soldier, Knight, and Inkling tokens, then multiplies it with Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation // Temple of Civilization and Exalted Sunborn before pumping it with Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, Moonshaker Cavalry, and anthem effects. Death triggers - from Dramatic Finale, Denethor, Ruling Steward, and Syr Vondam, Sunstar Exemplar - convert every sacrifice and wipe into value and drain. A strong life-gain subtheme (Dawn of Hope, Haliya, Guided by Light, Linden, the Steadfast Queen) fuels card draw, while Sun Titan, Restoration Seminar, and Archangel Elspeth provide recursion. The primary win is a massive, pumped combat swing; secondary lines grind opponents out through life loss and board control.
