Deck overview

This deck is a 5-color 'tribal-tribal' strategy commanded by Nephilim Epochal, designed to exploit the changeling mechanic to fuse the best tribal payoffs in Magic. Because changelings possess every creature type in all zones, casting Nephilim Epochal guarantees a direct search for Mirror Entity. Once deployed, Mirror Entity grants every creature on your board all creature types, allowing them to benefit simultaneously from Nephilim Epochal's massive stat boost and evasion (unblockable by monocolored creatures), Knight Exemplar's indestructible buff, and Drogskol Captain's hexproof. Supported by a Gates mana package and high-output dorks like Bloom Tender and Faeburrow Elder, the deck generates abundant mana to fuel huge activation costs. While the mana base suffers from tap-land latency and lacks stack-based countermagic, its high tutor consistency in the command zone ensures a dependable, high-power combat finish starting on turn 6.
