Deck overview

This deck is a high-synergy Orzhov Spirit tribal and token swarm strategy commanded by King of the Oathbreakers. The core engine revolves around the commander's ability to phase out Spirits whenever they become the target of a spell, which generates a fresh 1/1 flying Spirit token for each permanent that phases back in on the following untap step. By using cheap multi-target spells like Cauldron Haze and Divine Resilience, the deck dodges opposing spot removal while deliberately triggering mass phasing to multiply its board presence. Token multipliers such as Anointed Procession and Mondrak, Glory Dominus compound this output into overwhelming token swarms. The deck protects its board through premier phasing spells like Teferi's Protection and Clever Concealment before closing the game on Turns 6 to 7 with decisive overrun effects like Moonshaker Cavalry and Baldin, Century Herdmaster.
