Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov aristocrats and token aggro build led by Minthara, Merciless Soul. It leverages low-cost sacrifice fodder and death triggers to consistently accumulate experience counters, converting a swarm of small creature tokens into high-power threats. The deck establishes its foundation on turns 1 through 3 with token producers and sacrifice outlets, casts Minthara on turn 4, and triggers her revolt condition to secure permanent experience counters. By turn 6, token engines like Adeline, Resplendent Cathar and Horn of Gondor generate broad boards that hit for lethal combat damage thanks to Minthara's static anthem, while drain effects from Bastion of Remembrance, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Mirkwood Bats punish opponents for clearing the board. Because experience counters stay with the player, the deck recovers quickly from commander removal and presents resilient mid-game pressure across multiple turns.
