Airbender? I hardly know her! by AmandaLorian

Deck overview

This mono-white deck converts Monk Gyatso's airbend ability into an engine combo. By combining Gyatso with a zero-mana repeatable targeting effect like Nomads en-Kor or Shuko and a cost reducer that lowers creature spells by two mana (such as Semblance Anvil or Urza's Incubator), you can exile and recast a creature infinitely from exile for zero mana. Payoffs like Altar of the Brood, Glaring Fleshraker, and Aetherflux Reservoir convert these infinite casts and entries into an immediate table kill on Turn 5. The deck is supported by an extensive suite of artifact and creature tutors, dense mana ramp, and turn-silencing protection spells like Grand Abolisher and Silence to ensure uninterrupted combo execution.
