Overview:

This mono-white enchantress deck helmed by Katilda, Dawnhart Martyr focuses on building a critical mass of Spirits and enchantments to empower Katilda while controlling the board. The strategy combines lifegain synergies, token generation through enchantments like Hallowed Haunting and Sigil of the Empty Throne, and voltron elements via auras such as All That Glitters. Katilda serves as both a scaling threat and recursion engine via her disturb ability, though her high disturb cost limits frequent recursion. The deck leans heavily on stax effects (Blind Obedience, Ghostly Prison) to slow opponents while assembling its engine.

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

1. Early Setup (T1-4): Deploy mana-efficient enchantments (Land Tax, Authority of the Consuls) and Spirit generators (Clarion Spirit, Haunted Library). Use removal auras (Ossification, Darksteel Mutation) to disrupt opponents.
2. Midgame Engine (T4-7): Resolve key value pieces like Anointed Procession (token doubling), Archon of Sun's Grace (Pegasus generation), and Mesa Enchantress (card draw). Activate Katilda's disturb ability when board presence supports her aura form.
3. Win Conditions:
   • Token Overwhelm: Use Intangible Virtue/Ethereal Armor-enhanced Spirit armies with Duelist's Heritage for combat kills.
   • Voltron: Buff Katilda or other creatures with All That Glitters (scaling with 30+ enchantments) and Spirit Mantle for evasion.
   • Angel Tokens: Generate flying threats via Sigil of the Empty Throne and Court of Grace.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 2-3 lands and at least one early play (T1 Soul Warden, T2 Starfield Mystic/Ossification).
• Prioritize cards that establish board presence (Clarion Spirit) or disruption (Blind Obedience).
• Avoid hands lacking early interaction or enchantment density.

Key Tips:

• Use Shielded by Faith as a mobile indestructible source to protect key creatures or Katilda.
• Court of Ardenvale enables recursion of critical enchantments like Anointed Procession.
• Sphere of Safety becomes increasingly potent as enchantments accumulate.

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Extreme vulnerability to mass enchantment removal (Austere Command, Cleansing Nova) with limited recovery outside Court of Ardenvale.
• Struggles against fast combo decks due to slow setup and minimal stack interaction.

Moderate

• Board wipes cripple token-based strategies; relies on Selfless Spirit/Teferi's Protection as primary answers.
• Stony Silence/Collector Ouphe nullify artifact-based ramp and synergies.

Minor

• Limited card advantage engines beyond enchantress effects, risking empty hands if key pieces are removed.
• Mana-intensive recursion of Katilda's disturb form (5 mana) strains resources.

Most Important Cards:

• Anointed Procession (Doubles Spirit/Angel token output)
• Hallowed Haunting (Scaling token generator and board buff)
• All That Glitters (Primary voltron enabler)
• Archon of Sun's Grace (Token generation + lifelink synergy)
• Sigil of the Empty Throne (Angel token flood)
• Land Tax (Critical card advantage/land smoothing)
• Teferi's Protection (Board wipe insurance)
• Blind Obedience (Stax effect + lifegain)
• Sphere of Safety (Late-game defense)
• Court of Ardenvale (Recurrence engine)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 4/10

• Wins typically occur T8+ through gradual token accumulation or aura-enhanced threats. No fast combos.

Resilience: 5/10

• Limited protection outside Teferi's Protection and indestructible grants. Recursion exists but is mana-intensive.

Consistency: 6/10

• Redundant enchantress effects (Mesa Enchantress, Tocasia's Welcome) provide draw, but lacks tutors for key pieces.

Interaction: 5/10

• Strong permanent-based removal (exile auras, Grasp of Fate), but minimal instant-speed answers and no counterspells.

Rating Justification:

The deck demonstrates precon-level speed with T8-10 win potential through combat but lacks the interaction density and fast mana of optimized builds. While resilient to single-target removal, it folds to focused enchantment hate, placing it in the Casual/Focused Casual range.

Power level: 4.0 - 4.5
