Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov low-mana-value aggro-aristocrats build piloted by MacCready, Lamplight Mayor, supported by Lurrus of the Dream-Den as companion. The strategy floods the board with creatures of power 2 or less, granting them skulk through MacCready to bypass large blockers and chip away at opposing life totals. Simultaneously, passive tax pieces like Meekstone, Authority of the Consuls, and Blind Obedience punish heavy combat decks. As small creatures connect or die in trades, a dense suite of drainers—including Blood Artist, Cruel Celebrant, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim—burns opponents while padding the pilot's life total. Mass recursion like Raise the Past and Dusk // Dawn provides mid-to-late game resilience and asymmetric board wipes, allowing the deck to rebuild and close the game over multiple turn cycles.
