Hazduhr the Abbot

Hazduhr the Abbot is a damage redirection engine that turns your white creatures into lightning rods for protection. The core idea is to load up on small white creatures that want to attack or trigger effects, then use Hazduhr to absorb incoming damage meant for them—or even redirect damage to Hazduhr intentionally to set up board wipes or protection plays. Since Hazduhr has a decent body (2/5), he's a reasonable blocker and can rack up damage over the course of a game, letting you whittle opponents down while your creatures stay safe.

Your win condition is typically a slow grind: protect your board with Hazduhr, swing with evasive or go-wide creatures, and accumulate damage over time. The deck pairs well with token generators, cards that care about repeated combat phases, and effects that reward you for being attacked or blocking. You can also lean into Hazduhr soaking damage as a semi-damage-sink, working toward a Boros-style strategy where you're gaining life or fueling sacrifice outlets.
