Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Heliod, Sun-Crowned commands a mono-white lifegain and combo deck designed to control the battlefield while assembling lethal synergies. The primary win condition is an infinite damage combo pairing Heliod with Walking Ballista. By granting the Ballista lifelink, each ping gains life, triggering Heliod to replace the spent +1/+1 counter and repeat indefinitely. Secondary win paths rely on aggressive lifegain payoffs, such as creating overwhelming token armies with Crested Sunmare and Resplendent Angel, growing massive threats like Voice of the Blessed and Serra Ascendant, or resetting opponents boards with Ajani, Strength of the Pride to seal combat victories.
