Deck overview

This deck utilizes Denzilore Fatehold as a flash commander to turn every scry and surveil action into a global +1/+1 counter buff. The early game establishes cheap, repeatable scry engines through low-cost creatures, enchantments, and cantrips. Once Denzilore enters, every attack, upkeep trigger, and spell continuously grows the entire board. Evasion provided by flying and cards like Abzan Falconer allows the deck to push massive damage over ground blockers. It backs up this aggressive creature strategy with efficient Azorius spot removal, solid countermagic, and dedicated protection spells that trigger scrying while saving key creatures from removal. An asymmetric board wipe in Damning Verdict provides a decisive breakthrough to close out games.
