Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Orzhov lifegain-drain deck uses Papalymo Totolymo as an early value engine, not a combo piece. Papalymo deals 1 to each opponent and gains 1 life whenever you cast a noncreature spell, and can later force each opponent who lost life to sacrifice their biggest creature. The deck creates Wizard tokens that copy that ping and layers payoffs that turn any life gain into opponent loss. Its real wins are infinite loops between Exquisite Blood or Bloodthirsty Conqueror and Vito, Enduring Tenacity, or Marauding Blight-Priest. Secondary paths grind with Elas il-Kor, Kambal, and Papalymo triggers, or finish with a large Exsanguinate. No hidden commander exists.
