Deck overview

Anikthea, Hand of Erebos helms an Abzan Enchantress deck centered on graveyard reanimation and token multiplication. The primary game plan uses early self-mill and targeted discard to load the graveyard with powerful non-Aura enchantments like Boon of the Spirit Realm, Doubling Season, and Doomwake Giant. Casting Anikthea on Turn 4 immediately resurrects one of these enchantments as a 3/3 Zombie creature token with menace. On Turn 5, Anikthea attacks to resurrect a second threat, generating overwhelming board presence, massive team-wide buffs, or one-sided opposing board wipes. The deck rapidly scales damage using token doublers, populate engines, and constellation card draw to close the game across Turns 6 and 7. Evasion pieces like Familiar Ground and protection from Sterling Grove ensure that attacks connect reliably. While susceptible to mass graveyard exile and enchantment sweepers, dense tutoring and redundant engines provide high resilience.
