Cloak and Dagger, Entwined

Cloak and Dagger, Entwined is an Orzhov (white-black) midrange/value deck in Standard. It plays a disruptive, grindy game with hand disruption and efficient creatures like Deep-Cavern Bat, Duress, and Preacher of the Schism, while using removal such as Get Lost to keep the board under control.

Its core plan is to generate incremental advantage through sticky threats, lifegain/value pieces like Beza, the Bounding Spring, and recursion from Virtue of Persistence. Cards like Case of the Stashed Skeleton and Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal help it pressure slower decks while staying resilient in long games. Overall, it wins by disrupting the opponent, trading resources efficiently, and eventually taking over with recurring threats and steady creature damage.
