Your deck is a midrange deck that wants to play 3- to 6-mana value cards. The Mana Baseįor only two colors you can play as many lands as you want, and some Orzhov mana rocks like Orzhov Signet.
You can play staples like Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots to protect your commander and give it haste. You have a few sweepers like The Meathook Massacre, Farewell, Toxic Deluge, and Kaya's Wrath. The Intervention can gain life or exile graveyards. Spot removal includes Swords to Plowshares, Mortify, Utter End, and Erebos's Intervention. But you do have access to good spot removal and sweepers to compensate.
The Interaction and Sweepersīeing a white/black deck, you can’t have any kind of counterspells. The Resonator is useful at any point in the game, like copying the triggered abilities of your commander, for instance. Let’s say you gain 10 life and drain your opponents for the same amount. Strionic Resonator can copy triggered abilities and can lead to a win. The main purpose of the card is to gain you more life, though. Kaya, Intangible Slayer won’t outright win the game, but it drains all your opponents for three while acting as removal or card advantage.Īetherflux Reservoir will kill someone if you have a very high reserve of life. The Win Conditionsīesides the bleeding aspect of your commander, the main win conditions are cards that convert the life gain into life loss.įelidar Sovereign can win the game in a turn, if it lives (it’s hard, I know, but it can). Giada, Font of Hope is a nice 2-drop that ramps you and strengthens your other angels.Īrchangel of Thune, Righteous Valkyrie, and Angel of Vitality are incentives to gain life. Resplendent Angel can cause a beating and make more Angels for you. You want your creatures to have something to do with lifegain since that’s the operation axis of this deck.Ĭards like Markov Purifier and Indulging Patrician give you cards when you gain life.ĭawn of Hope gives you cards and creatures. You have ways to give your creature lifelink in your lands and creatures with cards like Lyra Dawnbringer, Vault of the Archangel, and Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose. Steel Seraph is a big creature that buffs your other creatures giving lifelink, flying, or vigilance. Vault of the Archangel is always nice in Orzhov decks since it gives you life and makes even the smallest of creatures a threat.īig lifegain flying creatures like your commander, Lyra Dawnbringer, and Steel Seraph give you big chunks of life. Lands and artifacts like Radiant Fountain and Pristine Talisman give you some life, as does The Celestus. Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose is a no-brainer in a lifegain deck, and the activated ability can kill someone.Įlas il-Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim and Marauding Blight-Priest help you go in the same direction, slowly draining everyone’s life and giving you lifegain triggers. Gray Merchant of Asphodel isn’t the machine it is in black devotion, but it works well regardless. Palace Siege can be used to drain opponents or recover a creature from your graveyard. The same goes for Underworld Dreams and Polluted Bonds. Sheoldred, the Apocalypse adds to your commander’s effectiveness while punishing opponent card draws. You want to damage your opponents and gain life while casting less spells yourself. The nice part of this deck is that it’s secretly a bleeder deck. Since angels are associated with lifegain and your commander is one of them, it makes sense to play creatures that benefit from that. What do you need in this Liesa deck? Lifelink in healthy doses to upset the life loss, and a bit of angel tribal goes a long way toward making Liesa hit harder and gain life for you. Liesa is solidifying itself as one of the most popular Orzhov commanders from the looks of it. Commanders that negate commander tax like Derevi, Empyrial Tactician and Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow are very powerful and popular. If it dies once, you cast it with five mana and two life rather than seven mana, and so on. You also lose life when you cast your spells, but hey, you have a big flying lifelink angel at your side.Īnother defining characteristic of Liesa, Shroud of Dusk is that it gets around commander tax by paying life. Your opponents are on the clock just by staying on the battlefield. Liesa, Shroud of Dusk is a big flying angel with lifelink in Orzhov ( ) colors, also known as a “Baneslayer-type card.” Whenever any player casts a spell, they lose two life.
