Deck overview

This Azorius lifegain/mill deck is helmed by Hope Estheim, whose end-step trigger mills each opponent for the life you gained that turn. The deck amplifies life gain through doublers like Boon Reflection, Rhox Faithmender, and Alhammarret's Archive, then weaponizes that life with Aetherflux Reservoir or the alt-win Felidar Sovereign. A secondary mill combo uses Bruvac the Grandiloquent with Maddening Cacophony or Jidoor's adventure Overture to instantly empty opponents' libraries. The deck also packs a solid control shell with counterspells and removal, while Land Tax and Enlightened Tutor provide consistency.
