Deck overview

This Mardu enchantment reanimation deck is helmed by Ghen, Arcanum Weaver, who transforms the graveyard into a second hand for enchantments. The primary game plan involves deploying a suite of "can't lose" enchantments - Lich, Lich's Mastery, Nine Lives, Transcendence, and others - then using Ghen's activated ability to sacrifice an enchantment and return another from the yard, effectively resetting these fragile lifeline pieces while accumulating incremental life and card advantage. The deck grinds opponents through attrition, eventually overwhelming with combat threats like Eldrazi Conscription-enchanted creatures, Grave Betrayal stealing boards, or the direct damage from Summon: Bahamut's Mega Flare. There is a single, thin combo line (hinging on Demonic Pact mode cycling with Ghen), but the primary path is value-based combat inevitability.
