Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov lifegain midrange strategy led by Sorin of House Markov // Sorin, Ravenous Neonate. The game plan establishes early resource parity and life advantage through low-cost Soul Sister creatures such as Soul Warden, Soul's Attendant, and Auriok Champion. These repeatable life triggers allow Sorin to transform into a planeswalker as early as Turn 3 or 4, where he generates Food tokens or provides direct removal. The mid-game transitions into aggressive board scaling and asymmetric life drain using powerhouses like Archangel of Thune, Karlov of the Ghost Council, Voice of the Blessed, and Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose. Without fast mana or tutors, the deck operates through steady card flow engines like Trouble in Pairs, The Gaffer, and Enduring Innocence. It closes games around Turn 8 through wide evasive combat and compounded drain triggers, backed by an infinite finish via Bloodthirsty Conqueror and Enduring Tenacity.
