Deck overview

This Orzhov Aura deck is helmed by Killian, Decisive Mentor, leveraging his two triggered abilities: tapping and goading a creature whenever an enchantment enters, and drawing a card whenever a creature enchanted by an Aura you control attacks. The primary game plan is to deploy a dense suite of Auras-over 20-to repeatedly trigger Killian's goad, disrupt opponent combat, and generate card advantage. The deck wins through combat damage, often by stacking Auras on a single evasive creature (the commander, Herald of Amity, or a token) and finishing with Eldrazi Conscription or Angelic Destiny. Secondary paths include token swarms from Inkshield and Forum Filibuster, and attrition via goaded creatures. The deck lacks infinite combos and relies on incremental value and board control.
