Deck overview

Killian, Decisive Mentor is an Orzhov Aura-control deck that uses every enchantment entering to tap and goad an enemy attacker while drawing cards from enchanted creatures that attack. Pillow-fort pieces and Eriette of the Charmed Apple buy time; Sram, Kor Spiritdancer, Light-Paws, and Pearl-Ear turn cheap Aura chains into card advantage. The cleanest finish is Glistening Oil plus Super State on a pumped creature, usually Killian, for a one-hit lethal infect swing to all opponents, with Ethereal Armor or All That Glitters supplying the extra power. Backup plans are large unblockable Aura-beater attacks, Hallowed Haunting spirit tokens, and Eriette's life drain. Killian, Ink Duelist acts as a hidden cost reducer in the 99.
