Deck overview

This deck combines Orzhov Cleric tribal synergy and aristocrat value engines with a compact, game-ending infinite combo. Commanded by Orah, Skyclave Hierophant, the list leverages low-cost Clerics to generate early board presence, gain life, and recur fallen utility creatures. Fast mana and elite draw engines like Necropotence, The One Ring, and Yawgmoth, Thran Physician allow the deck to dig aggressively through its library. Its primary route to victory pairs Exquisite Blood with Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose or similar drain outlets like Marauding Blight-Priest and Enduring Tenacity, instantly draining the table upon any life shift. Strong silence effects like Grand Abolisher and Ranger-Captain of Eos ensure the winning turn proceeds without interference.
