Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov Enchantress and Midrange attrition strategy commanded by Victor, Valgavoth's Seneschal. The deck leverages the Eerie mechanic from Duskmourn alongside a dense suite of Rooms, auras, and enchantment creatures to grind opponents down while building overwhelming board advantage. In the early turns, it establishes mana rocks, cost reducers like Starfield Mystic, and value engines like Ripples of Undeath. Once Victor enters the battlefield, chaining multiple enchantment entries per turn triggers card selection, multi-opponent discard, and reanimation from any graveyard. Mid-game control is secured through punishing tax effects such as Painful Quandary, Ghostly Prison, and Sphere of Safety, severely limiting opposing offensive capabilities. The endgame is achieved by reanimating massive threats like Valgavoth, Terror Eater, generating flying armies with Overlord of the Mistmoors, or amplifying creature power with Dollmaker's Shop // Porcelain Gallery to close out the table through decisive combat damage.
