Strategy
Linvala, Keeper of Silence is a straightforward hate piece that locks down opposing creatures by shutting off their activated abilities. She's a flying beater that arrives early and immediately puts pressure on opponents relying on creature abilities—think Llanowar Elves, fetchland tutors on creatures, or pump abilities. Your gameplan is to swing in for three flying damage per turn while your opponents struggle with neutered creatures, buying time for your other win conditions to take over.
The deck builds around protecting Linvala and leveraging white's classic tools: ramp, removal, and small efficient creatures. You'll want anthems and board wipes to ensure your team stays relevant, then ride Linvala and her friends to the finish line. The strategy is midrange aggression with a control finish—you're not trying to win turn four, but you're punishing creature-heavy strategies hard.
