Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov midrange strategy centered on Bat tribal synergies, lifegain triggers, and incremental drain. Led by Zoraline, Cosmos Caller, the deck curves out with low-cost flying Bats and lifegain enablers to establish early battlefield presence. Once Zoraline attacks on turn 4, she repeatedly reanimates key low-mana permanents from the graveyard while generating life whenever Bats attack. The deck converts this steady lifegain into opposing life loss through drain engines like Starscape Cleric, Marauding Blight-Priest, and Lunar Convocation. Midgame plays introduce heavy attrition via discard and edict effects from Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal and Bandit's Talent, while mass recursion spells like Bloodline Bidding and Dewdrop Cure rebuild the board after sweepers. Without infinite combos or fast mana rocks, the deck aims to grind down the table through evasive combat damage and continuous life-drain triggers, closing the game around turn 9 across multiple attack rotations.
