Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov Aristocrats and token attrition strategy commanded by Edgar, Ancient Bloodlord. The game plan focuses on generating small creature tokens with cards like Skrelv's Hive, Dreadhorde Invasion, and Carrot Cake, feeding them into sacrifice outlets to grow Edgar, trigger life gain, and grind down opposing life totals. Card draw engines such as Skullclamp and Caretaker's Talent provide steady card replenishment to sustain operations into the mid game. The deck packs an extensive removal package of efficient spot removal and sweepers like White Sun's Twilight and Austere Command to control opposing threats while developing its own board. While the primary path to victory relies on wide token combat and incremental drain over several turn cycles, the list harbors an incidental infinite combo between Bloodthirsty Conqueror and Marauding Blight-Priest that can immediately drain the entire table. Its primary limitations are the absence of stack countermagic and prolonged exposure during multi-turn combat clocks.
