Bracket: 3
Deck overview
This is a five-color Shrines enchantress deck helmed by Go-Shintai of Life's Origin. The plan is to flood the board with legendary Shrines (Hondens, Sanctums, Go-Shintais, and Avatar temples), multiply shrine count with tokens, and snowball triggered upkeep/end-step value into drains, tokens, card advantage, and combat. Go-Shintai of Life's Origin accelerates that plan by minting a 1/1 Shrine token whenever a nontoken Shrine enters and by recurring enchantments from the graveyard for WUBRG. Primary wins are a resolved Coalition Victory (enabled by Leyline of the Guildpact / Dryad of the Ilysian Grove), Simic Ascendancy growth, and attrition via Sanctum of Stone Fangs, Honden of Infinite Rage, and go-wide Spirits/Monks. The deck plays as a midrange value engine that becomes oppressive once six-plus Shrines and Sanctum of All are online.
