Deck overview

This deck is a high-synergy Jund Aristocrats engine built around Korvold, Fae-Cursed King. It accelerates mana in the opening turns using fast dorks, rituals, and Treasure producers to deploy Korvold by Turn 4. Once Korvold is on the battlefield, every sacrificed permanent—including spent Treasures, fetchlands, and creature tokens—draws a card and grows Korvold into a massive flying threat. The deck converts this immense card velocity into game-ending life drain using aristocrat payoffs like Mirkwood Bats, Marionette Apprentice, and Reckless Fireweaver, backed by formidable Dragons such as Terror of the Peaks, Goldspan Dragon, and Old Gnawbone. While it lacks cheap countermagic and stack protection, its overwhelming resource generation and backup win conditions like Bolas's Citadel and Prossh, Skyraider of Kher allow it to rebuild rapidly and close games by Turn 6.
