Elenda, Lifegain

This is an Orzhov (white-black) lifegain/aristocrats Commander deck built around Elenda, Saint of Dusk and a heavy Cleric subtheme. Its main plan is to gain life steadily through creatures like Kor Celebrant, Deathgreeter, Aven Riftwatcher, and Anointed Chorister, then convert that life gain into pressure with payoffs like Marauding Blight-Priest, Wayward Servant, Malakir Blood-Priest, and Amalia Benavides Aguirre.

The deck plays a grindy midrange game: develop small value creatures, gain incremental life, drain opponents, and use sacrifice/value spells like Village Rites, Altar’s Reap, Bone Splinters, and Final Payment to turn expendable bodies into cards or removal. It also supports this with strong spot removal and enchantment-based answers to control the board.

Overall, it aims to win by outlasting the table with repeated life gain and attrition, then draining opponents out or attacking with an increasingly threatening lifelink-focused board.
