Killian Aura Farming by Bloodcrasher

Format: Commander

Commander: Killian, Decisive Mentor

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Orzhov aura deck uses Killian, Decisive Mentor to goad opponents' creatures into attacking each other while you draw cards. You attach Impetus auras (Coercive, Ghoulish, Martial, Parasitic) to opponents' threats, tap and goad them on each enchantment entry, and protect yourself with Ghostly Prison, Sphere of Safety, and Eriette of the Charmed Apple. Secondary paths create flying tokens with Sigil of the Empty Throne and Archon of Sun's Grace, and drain life with Eriette. The hidden engine is Knight of Doves + Screams from Within for infinite Birds, and Archon + Ondu Spiritdancer + Secret Arcade for value. Killian is the draw and deterrent engine, not the combo piece.
