Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov aristocrats and attrition strategy led by Kambal, Profiteering Mayor. It converts token generation and creature death triggers into continuous life drain across all opponents. The early game focuses on deploying fast mana and low-cost stax pieces like Drannith Magistrate and Blind Obedience to slow opposing development while establishing token engines such as Bitterblossom and Ophiomancer. In the mid game, Kambal, Profiteering Mayor pairs with drain multipliers like Mirkwood Bats, Marionette Apprentice, and Blood Artist to turn every token creation and sacrifice into substantial life swings. The deck reaches critical mass with cards like Tombstone Stairwell, which triggers massive waves of token entries and end-step sacrifices each turn cycle to eliminate the table. Supported by efficient black tutors, versatile removal, and strong protection like Teferi's Protection and Silence, the deck maintains steady pressure while resiliently rebuilding its board state.
