Deck overview

This deck is an Azorius control strategy led by The Council of Four. It turns the normal flow of a 4-player game into a continuous stream of cards and 2/2 Knight tokens. By taking advantage of opponents drawing multiple cards or casting multiple spells each turn, the deck builds card advantage without over-committing mana on its own turn. Cheap cantrips and token makers like Prince Imrahil the Fair and Monastery Mentor supplement the commander, while proactive enchantments like Trouble in Pairs punish fast opposing turns. Once the board is filled with tokens, the deck protects its creatures with phasing spells like Clever Concealment and countermagic. It closes the game by resolving game-ending team buffs such as Moonshaker Cavalry, Akroma's Will, or Mirror Entity, flying over blockers to defeat the table in one or two decisive combat phases.
