Deck overview

Gretchen Titchwillow commands a focused Simic ramp and combo deck designed to accelerate mana, draw through the library, and execute decisive infinite mana finishes. In the early game, the deck establishes an expansive mana base using efficient mana dorks, land-enchantment auras, and land-drop accelerants. Once Gretchen enters the battlefield, she converts surplus mana into card advantage and additional land drops, digging toward key combo components. The primary win condition revolves around infinite mana loops generated by Deadeye Navigator paired with Peregrine Drake, or untap creatures like Ley Weaver and Sanctum Weaver enchanted by Freed from the Real or Pemmin's Aura. Once infinite mana is established, Gretchen draws the entire library, leading directly to a same-turn victory via Walking Ballista pinging all opponents or Laboratory Maniac winning on an empty library draw. The deck combines high card velocity with resilient recursion, though it remains vulnerable to targeted creature removal before combo execution.
