Deck overview

This deck is a Jeskai Eldrazi Sneak Attack deck commanded by Arthur, Marigold Knight. The strategy focuses on deploying low-mana enablers early, casting Arthur on curve with haste, and attacking alongside a partner creature to dig six cards deep and cheat massive Eldrazi and artifact behemoths directly onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. Heavy hitters like Blightsteel Colossus, Void Winnower, and Ulamog's Dreadsire apply immediate lethal pressure. While cheated creatures return to hand at end of combat, redundant cheat engines such as Quicksilver Amulet, Braids, Conjurer Adept, and Cryptic Gateway allow the deck to re-deploy these threats permanently. The deck also includes a compact infinite combat win condition in Helm of the Host combined with Combat Celebrant. With high functional redundancy among payoffs and supporting protection from Selfless Spirit and Hammer of Nazahn, the deck reliably threatens game-ending combat steps by Turns 5-7.
