Deck overview

This deck is an Azorius midrange strategy led by Genku, Future Shaper that converts temporary exile effects into permanent creature board presence. By combining repeated flicker engines with low-cost enters-the-battlefield creatures, the deck draws cards and creates a steady stream of Fox, Moonfolk, and Rat tokens whenever its permanents leave the battlefield. In the mid game, token multipliers like Divine Visitation and Anointed Procession turn this incremental generation into large airborne armies, while Genku's activated ability pumps the entire board. Reactive interaction such as Counterspell and Swords to Plowshares pairs with defensive blink spells like Ephemerate to protect key pieces from opposing removal. While the deck lacks fast mana and dedicated tutors, its high density of interchangeable flicker cards and card advantage engines ensures consistent execution and resilience against single-target interaction, ultimately closing games through wide evasive combat attacks.
