Orzhov Ratblade

Orzhov Ratblade is a white-black midrange/aggro deck that looks to pressure early with cheap creatures, especially Rat-style nuisance threats like Tinybones, Pocket Nuisance and Undercity Dire Rat, then back them up with efficient removal and combat tricks.

Its core game plan is to chip in early damage, disrupt opposing creatures, and keep attacking with resilient value creatures. White cards like Teyo, Lightshield Expert, Slash of Light, and Shinra Reinforcements help stabilize the board or push combat, while black cards such as Deadly Embrace, Nighthowl Pursuer, and Sephiroth’s Intervention provide removal and attrition tools.

Overall, this is an Orzhov creature-based tempo/midrange deck that wins by establishing board presence early, trading efficiently, and grinding out the opponent with steady pressure and removal-backed attacks.
