Syr Vondam Blink by chickenpie393

Commander: Syr Vondam, Sunstar Exemplar

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is an Orzhov blink/aristocrats value engine helmed by Syr Vondam, Sunstar Exemplar. The deck's core loop is generating ETB triggers through flicker effects (Cloudshift, Ephemerate, Conjurer's Closet, Restoration Angel, Felidar Guardian, Abdel Adrian, Gorion's Ward) and converting them into tokens, life, card draw, and drain via Corpse Knight, Altar of the Brood, Blasting Station, and Morbid Opportunist. Syr Vondam grows with every death/exile and offers a removal payoff once he hits 4 power. The deck wins primarily through several independent infinite combos: Phyrexian Vindicator + Guilty Conscience (infinite damage), Felidar Guardian + Restoration Angel (infinite blink feeding drain/mill outlets), and Karmic Guide + Reveillark + Blasting Station (infinite recursion). A dense tutor package (Oswald Fiddlebender, Recruiter of the Guard, Diabolic Tutor, Final Parting) assembles these lines reliably.
