Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Orzhov deck leverages Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful as a hyper-efficient aggressive engine alongside Ravos, Soultender for long-term card advantage and recursion. The core game plan curves out early with cheap legendary spells and Dogs to rapidly grow Yoshimaru while applying immense early combat pressure. As the board develops, midgame powerhouses like Flowering of the White Tree, Paladin Class, and Ardbert, Warrior of Darkness scale wide boards into lethal threats. The deck concludes games via overwhelming combat damage, using evasion from Shadowspear or Shizo, Death's Storehouse and game-ending alpha strikes backed by Akroma's Will.
