Deck overview

This deck is an Azorius Blink Control strategy commanded by Ephara, God of the Polis. The core game plan focuses on establishing Ephara early alongside recurring blink effects such as Soulherder, Teleportation Circle, and Thassa, Deep-Dwelling, as well as flash creatures like Whitemane Lion and Aven Interrupter. By ensuring at least one creature enters the battlefield on each player's turn, the deck triggers Ephara repeatedly, drawing 2 to 4 extra cards every turn rotation. This immense card velocity fuels a dense suite of countermagic, spot removal, and light stax pieces to control the table. The primary win condition is a 3-card combo assembling Peregrine Drake, Archaeomancer, and Ghostly Flicker on Turn 6. This loop produces infinite mana, draws the library, and flickers Venser, Shaper Savant to bounce all opposing permanents, sealing victory through infinite turns with Time Warp or a Triskaidekaphile win.
