Deck overview

This Abzan enchantment deck, piloted by Myrkul, Lord of Bones, executes a proactive stax, pillowfort, and Curse control game plan. The strategy ramps on early turns into repeatable card-draw engines like Sythis, Harvest's Hand and Setessan Champion. Once established, the deck stabilizes behind formidable defensive barriers, utilizing Sphere of Safety, Ghostly Prison, Blind Obedience, and the damage-nullifying interaction between Solemnity and Delaying Shield. The proactive offensive package leverages Curse of Misfortunes to repeatedly tutor devastating Curses directly into play, including Overwhelming Splendor to neutralize key opponents. Supporting protection pieces like Greater Auramancy and Sterling Grove grant shroud to safeguard the board, while Replenish and Open the Vaults provide instant recovery against disruption. The deck transitions into a lethal win condition around Turn 6 by churning out 4/4 flying Angels via Luminarch Ascension, animating high-cost enchantments with Starfield of Nyx, or generating token swarms multiplied by Anointed Procession and Parallel Lives, closing out the game across two decisive combat rotations.
