A blue-white control combo deck that uses flicker effects to repeatedly trigger enter-the-battlefield abilities and control the board, eventually locking down opponents or assembling infinite combos.
Estrid, the Masked
An enchantress stax deck focusing on enchanting the battlefield to disrupt opponents' plays, generate incremental advantage, and slowly lock down the game with enchantment-based control elements.
