Orzhov - An Apple a Day Keeps the Combat Away by DarkShadows

Format: Commander

Commander: Eriette of the Charmed Apple

Bracket: 3

DeckCheck Threat Index: 41

Deck overview

This deck executes an Enchantress pillowfort and attrition strategy led by Eriette of the Charmed Apple. The primary game plan revolves around casting cost-effective Aura enchantments on opposing threats to neutralize attackers while triggering Eriette's end-step life drain and life gain. Card draw engines such as Sram, Senior Edificer, Kor Spiritdancer, and Mesa Enchantress maintain high hand velocity as cheap Auras enter play. As the Aura count multiplies, Eriette rapidly drains the entire table while keeping your life total high and directing opposing combat away with goad effects and Sphere of Safety. Mass graveyard reanimation spells like Retether and Brilliant Restoration provide resilient recovery against sweepers. The deck closes games around Turn 8 through steady life loss combined with evasive token swarms or tall Voltron attacks.
