EDH: Ghost Council of Orzhova
















Here's my first attempt at an Elder Dragon Highlander deck. I was tickled by the idea of combining the new B/W hybrid cards from Eventide, with the Orzhov cards from Guildpact, with a dash of Apocalypse.

I was able to cram a great deal of synergy into the build. It is ultimately a highly aggressive deck with a smashy top-end and a fair amount of tutoring and card draw.
