Strategy
Opal-Eye, Konda's Yojimbo is a defensive fortress that protects your life total while slowly chipping away at opponents. Your gameplan centers on redirecting damage to Opal-Eye, who grows larger every time she blocks thanks to bushido. You'll lean into white's damage prevention suite—cards like Fog effects, Blessed Sanctuary, and Pariah—to keep Opal-Eye alive and your opponents' damage redirected harmlessly. Your win condition is grinding out opponents over time through chip damage and inevitability.
Since Opal-Eye can't attack, you'll fill your deck with damage sources that don't require combat: pings from utility creatures, damage from your opponents' forced attacks, or slow damage engines like Furnace of Rath. Pair her with board wipes and creature removal to control the game while Opal-Eye becomes an increasingly beefy wall. The deck plays as a control-heavy stall deck that turns your opponent's aggression into your own advantage—the more they try to attack you, the stronger Opal-Eye gets.
