Abzan aristocrats that turns your dying creatures into enchantment copies, building a board removal can't clear, and combos with Devoted Druid.
Read more
Whenever another nontoken creature you control dies, Myrkul lets you exile it and create a token copy that's an enchantment and no longer a creature. The copy keeps its abilities but can't be hit by creature removal or wiped by damage. Myrkul is a 7/5 for seven and gains indestructible while your life is at half or less. The deck runs sacrifice outlets and creatures with useful static or activated abilities, so they keep working forever after they die.
In the recorded games, the best line was Devoted Druid. As an enchantment with no toughness, the -1/-1 counter cost never kills it, so it untaps for infinite green mana that fed big X spells and tutors. Sacrifice outlets like Grim Haruspex and Birthing Pod drew cards and turned the engine, and Doomwake Giant shrank opposing boards each time a creature came back as an enchantment. Pir's Whim and Platinum Angel showed up as utility. The board was hard to remove with creature removal, but heavy combat pressure and board-wide pump effects beat it. The deck needs a sacrifice outlet to get going and can be slow without one.
