Overview:

Uril, the Miststalker is a voltron-focused deck leveraging hexproof and aura stacking to create an unstoppable commander threat. The strategy revolves around deploying Uril early, protecting him with shroud/indestructible auras, and using enchantress effects to maintain card advantage. While lacking infinite combos, it aims to win via commander damage or overwhelming aura-enhanced attacks.

Primer:

Core Strategy:
Deploy Uril by turn 4–5 using mana dorks (Arbor Elf, Birds of Paradise) and ramp (Wild Growth). Protect him with hexproof-granting auras (Spider Umbra, Shielded by Faith) while scaling his power via enchantments like Ancestral Mask (+2/+2 per enchantment). Use enchantress engines (Sythis, Harvest's Hand, Enchantress's Presence) to refuel. Win via commander damage or Runes of the Deus-enhanced swings.

Mulligan Priorities:

• 3 lands (preferably duals like Stomping Ground).
• 1–2 ramp sources (Utopia Sprawl, Fertile Ground).
• At least 1 protective aura (Ethereal Armor, Spirit Mantle).
  Avoid hands without early ramp or protection.

Key Tips

• Prioritize auras with built-in protection (Bear Umbra, Gift of Immortality) over raw power boosts.
• Use Sterling Grove to tutor key auras or shield enchantments.
• Heroic Intervention protects against board wipes post-aura investment.
• Aura Shards disrupts opponents while advancing your board.

Avoid Traps

• Overcommitting auras before securing hexproof/indestructible.
• Holding interaction instead of advancing Uril’s threat.
• Slow enchantments like Three Dreams in early turns.

Weaknesses:

Critical:

• Relies entirely on Uril; 3+ removals cripple the deck.
• No alternate win conditions if Uril is neutered.

Moderate:

• Vulnerable to mass enchantment removal (Cleansing Nova).
• Limited recursion for auras (only Sun Titan/Eternal Witness).

Minor:

• Weak to sacrifice effects (Grave Pact bypasses hexproof).

Most Important Cards:

• Sythis, Harvest's Hand
• Sterling Grove
• Enlightened Tutor
• Ancestral Mask
• Bear Umbra
• Heroic Intervention
• Argothian Enchantress
• Sun Titan
• Aura Shards
• Unquestioned Authority

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 6/10
Can deploy Uril by T4 and threaten lethal by T7–8 with optimal draws. Lacks fast mana or cheats to accelerate beyond this.

Resilience: 4/10
Folds to repeated removal but has moderate protection (hexproof auras, Heroic Intervention). No recovery from mass exile.

Consistency: 7/10
10+ enchantress effects and tutors (Three Dreams, Enlightened Tutor) ensure aura density. Mana base supports color requirements.

Interaction: 5/10
Spot removal (Swords to Plowshares) and stax-lite Aura Shards, but limited counterspells or instant-speed answers.

Rating Justification:

Faster than casual decks (T7–8 kills) but lacks cEDH speed (T5+). Resilient to single-target removal but folds to focused hate. Matches "Optimized Casual/Strong Precon" (5.0) in win speed and "Focused" (6.0) in consistency.

Power level: 5.0 - 6.0
