Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov Lifegain and Reanimator strategy led by Zoraline, Cosmos Caller. The primary game plan focuses on incremental drain and gain, leveraging Zoraline s ability to recur low-mana value permanents (CMC 3 or less) to create a resilient board state. The deck utilizes "Bat" and "Zombie" tribal synergies alongside "Prepared" mechanics to generate value. Winning typically occurs through attrition via drain effects like Starscape Cleric and South Wind Avatar, or through the "I win" condition of Felidar Sovereign. While the deck lacks high-speed infinite combos, it excels at grinding out opponents by repeatedly bringing back utility creatures, removal pieces like Nowhere to Run, and scaling threats like Amalia Benavides Aguirre. Zoraline is central to the engine, acting as a repeatable source of card advantage and board presence from the command zone.
