Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov Aura Enchantress and forced-combat strategy led by Killian, Decisive Mentor. It controls the pace of the game by attaching Auras to both friendly and opposing creatures. Each enchantment entering the battlefield triggers Killian to tap and goad a target creature, forcing opponents into combat with each other while protecting your life total. Attacking with enchanted creatures draws extra cards, fueling a steady stream of enchantments and removal. The deck accelerates with low-cost mana rocks and cost reducers like Starfield Mystic and Pearl-Ear, Imperial Advisor. As the game progresses, it transitions into a lethal win condition using high-impact Voltron Auras, token generation from Archon of Sun's Grace, and continuous life drain from Eriette of the Charmed Apple. Asymmetric sweepers like Winds of Rath and defensive tools like Ghostly Prison keep you safe while opponents whittle each other down.
