Deck overview

This deck is an Orzhov go-wide combat and aristocrats strategy led by MacCready, Lamplight Mayor. The primary game plan revolves around flooding the board with creatures of power 2 or less using efficient token producers like Adeline, Resplendent Cathar, Ocelot Pride, and Skrelv's Hive. MacCready grants these attackers skulk, allowing them to bypass large blockers and connect cleanly. The deck supplements combat damage with steady drain effects from Commissar Severina Raine, Corpse Knight, and Elas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim, while pillowfort staples like Ghostly Prison and Norn's Annex disincentivize opponents from retaliating. Card velocity is maintained by death triggers and low-power entry triggers like Skullclamp and Welcoming Vampire. Games are decisively closed either by draining opponents during mass attacks or resolving game-ending overruns such as Moonshaker Cavalry and Akroma's Will.
