Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov Voltron and Aristocrats midrange strategy led by Squall, SeeD Mercenary. The game plan revolves around attacking alone with Squall to trigger Rough Divide, granting double strike. Because Squall triggers on combat damage to a player, dealing both first strike and regular combat damage yields up to two reanimation triggers per combat. The deck leverages this ability by stocking the graveyard with low-mana utility permanents, especially sacrifice creatures like Accursed Marauder and Plaguecrafter, and protective creatures like Selfless Spirit and Boromir, Warden of the Tower. This loop strips opposing creatures while keeping Squall shielded from removal. Evasion equipment such as Brotherhood Regalia, Whispersilk Cloak, and the protective Sword cycle ensures Squall connects cleanly. The deck eliminates opponents through steady commander damage while controlling the board with efficient spot removal and recurring attrition.
