Deck overview

This Orzhov deck leverages Nalia de'Arnise to build a synergistic Party aggro-midrange engine. The strategy relies on casting Clerics, Rogues, Warriors, Wizards, and Changelings at a discount of hand cards by playing them directly off the top of the library. Once four party roles are assembled, Nalia distributes +1/+1 counters and deathtouch to all attackers every combat phase, steadily turning small utility creatures into lethal threats. The deck accelerates through Treasure generation from cards like Burakos, Party Leader and Grim Hireling while drawing extra cards through Folk Hero and Mindblade Render. It controls the tempo using efficient removal such as Deadly Rollick, Path to Exile, and Stick Together, alongside disruptive hatebears like Drannith Magistrate and Dauthi Voidwalker. High-density protection spells defend against sweepers, allowing wide armies to survive and close games around Turn 8 with overrun finishers like Jazal Goldmane, Mirror Entity, or Akroma's Will.
