Strategy
Killian, Decisive Mentor is all about turning your enchantments into tools of control and card advantage. Every time an enchantment enters the battlefield, you tap down and goad an opponent's creature, forcing them into bad attacks while you build up an Aura-heavy board. Then, whenever your enchanted creatures attack, you draw cards—so you're generating value from both offense and defense simultaneously.
The deck strategy revolves around Auras that protect your creatures or grant evasion, since enchanted attackers trigger your draw ability. You'll pack efficient Auras like Basilisk Collar, Eidolon of Countless Battles, and Hardened Scales effects to turn Killian and a few other key creatures into threat engines. Meanwhile, goading opposing creatures keeps you safe while they bash into each other. Your win comes from a combination of commander damage and a growing board of enchanted creatures, all while you're out-carding your opponents.
