Deck overview

This Orzhov deck is commanded by Karlov of the Ghost Council, utilizing dense, low-cost lifegain triggers to turn the commander into an enormous Voltron threat while doubling as repeatable creature removal. The deck blends aggressive commander damage with a heavy pillowfort shell consisting of Ghostly Prison, Archangel of Tithes, and Norn's Annex to stall opposing combat decks. It runs a suite of high-impact board wipes including Toxic Deluge, Farewell, and Merciless Eviction to reset developed boards when necessary. As the game extends, big mana engines fueled by Crypt Ghast, Black Market, and The Eternity Elevator enable alternate table finishes through massive Debt to the Deathless and Exsanguinate casts, or an alternate win with Approach of the Second Sun. Lacking nonland tutors, the deck trades hyper-efficiency for broad redundancy, resilient lifegain synergies, and deep board-state interaction.
