Arvad the Cursed

Arvad the Cursed is a lord for your legendary creatures, turning them into a coordinated army while you gain life and deal with threats through deathtouch. Your core gameplan revolves around assembling a critical mass of legendary creatures—many of which are affordable and efficient—then riding Arvad's +2/+2 boost to victory. Since legendaries are individually powerful, you're not relying on a single creature to win; instead, you're building a diverse toolbox of legends that apply pressure while Arvad pumps them and keeps you alive.

The beauty of this deck is flexibility. You can play control-oriented legends like Anguished Unmaking on a stick, aggressive legends that dominate early, or synergy pieces that reward you for playing multiple creatures. The lifegain from Arvad's lifelink buys time and sometimes goes infinite with proper pieces. Most of your wins come from combat damage as your legendary squad, now 5/5 flyers or 6/6 vigilance creatures, overrun the table.

Build around tutors to find your best legends for each game state, and include sacrifice outlets to protect key creatures while triggering death-based synergies. This is a "best deck in your colors" deck—you're not doing anything broken, just playing excellent creatures better than normal.
