Hello and welcome to my Orzhov Afterlife and spirits deck, This deck features all new cards from the Ravnica Allegiance set and I do hope that this deck can become quite good as its one of my favorites to play with as of right now. Hope you enjoy this decklist, all help and advice is greatly appreciated.
The main theme of this deck is primarily revolving around exile and the new Afterlife ability, I love the idea of always having something on the board even when one thing is destroyed. As well as exiling many things so that even Kaya is able to wipe out the opponet
Orzhov Enforcer
- A good 2 drop with deathtouch and afterlife, good to play early on or even helps with bigger creatures if duable
Consecrate / Consume
- Good for card draw and exiling, or even use it to have an opponet sacrifice the highest numbered creature on their side. I find it extremely useful for both effects.
Imperious Oligarch
- Vigilance and Afterlife makes this a good attacker early on and with afterlife, it helps just as much.
Pitiless Pontiff
- Sacrificing a spirit or so can give it indestructible and deathtouch, very useful for a sneaky strategy to take out bigger creatures or to clear some lesser ones out.
Revival / Revenge
- May not seem great but most of the cards tend to be quite low costing creature wise, therefore bringing back one with afterlife or like the pontiff. Also the second ability helps the more life you have, therefore keeping you alive just a while longer or if not the whole game. It doubles your life and halves your opponets.
Ministrant of Obligation
- God with afterlife since it creates two spirits after destroyed, remains a weaker creature but the spirits help this card so much more when the ministrant fades
Kaya, Orzhov Usurper
- Really great card all around, maybe besides second ability. This card exiles two cards every turn from a graveyard that can also net you 2 life if it happened to be a creature. The last ability can very well win you the game under certain circumstances. Very worthy planeswalker
Mortify
- Destroys creature or enchantment, useful against opponet in many cases.
Seraph of the Scales
- With this card able to have vigilance and/or deathtouch plus afterlife, this is a extremely useful card to play.
Teysa Karlov
- Buffing spirits with lifelink and vigilance and her ability to cause effects like afterlife to trigger twice means even more spirits.
Ethereal Absolution
- A card that can weaken your opponet and help your spirits and creatures out, also with the ability to exile a card from an opponets grave, that adds on to Kaya's ability and if its a creature, another spirit.
Knight of the Last Breath
Not a bad giant knight, may be a bit costly but its afterlife 3 and ability to create spirits with various other creatures can cause some serious afterlife effects. Combined with teysa, thats a lot of spirits.
Glass of the Guildpact
- Buff your spirits up alongside Ethereal Absolution for later since all Spirits are multi-colored from Afterlife. Extremely useful for the multi-colored creatures as well.
That is all I can think of but there are definitely a few more cards I'm sure would do better in this deck, yet I'm not sure whichones. All advice is helpful. Again I hope you enjoy the deck as much as I do :)
