New Deck

Summary

This is a cohesive Bracket 1 Azorius blinkandtoken value deck with unusually strong protection and battlefield interaction for the table level. Its major structural weakness is zero effective acceleration: Niko normally arrives on turn four and the deck's expensive engines come online late. It will perform well in slower creaturecentric pods, but faster value decks and opponents with repeated stack interaction can exploit its slow setup.

Niko, Light of Hope
