Deck overview

This deck is a Jund token aristocrats and forced-combat engine helmed by the partner pairing of Ellie, Brick Master and Joel, Resolute Survivor. Ellie generates 1/1 Cordyceps Fungus Zombie creature tokens whenever any player attacks an opponent, incentivizing aggressive combat among rivals while building your board. Joel converts token deaths into steady card advantage and counter growth. The 99 compounds this strategy through forced combat cards like Baeloth Barrityl, Entertainer and Disrupt Decorum, aristocrat drain pieces such as Blood Artist, Bastion of Remembrance, and Mirkwood Bats, and brutal asymmetric edicts like Dictate of Erebos and Braids, Cabal Minion. Dense early ramp accelerates setup by Turn 4, enabling the deck to seize board control around Turn 5 and establish a lethal drain clock by Turn 6. While vulnerable to mass exile and noncreature stack wins, the deck grinds down opposing life totals and empties enemy boards with relentless token attrition.
