Photon, Lady of Light

Photon, Lady of Light is a repeatable flicker engine that synergizes brilliantly with enter-the-battlefield (ETB) effects and creatures that benefit from being repeatedly cast or bounced. Every attack triggers her ability to exile and return a creature you control, letting you reuse ETB triggers, dodge removal, reset creatures with summoning sickness, or protect your best threats from harm. The core gameplan is to build a creature-heavy deck with high-impact ETBs—card draw, token generation, tutors, or value engines—then swing in repeatedly to maximize those triggers. You'll often attack every turn, making Photon a flying threat that also functions as your primary value engine.

The deck wins through a combination of incremental card advantage and combat damage. By repeatedly flickering creatures like Soul Warden, Mulldrifter, or Soulherder effects, you'll generate so much value that you'll inevitably pull ahead in resources, refill your hand, build a token army, or gain enough life to outlast opponents. In a pinch, Photon's 3 flying damage per turn adds up, especially once you've equipped her or stacked anthem effects. This is a midrange deck that rewards attacking and plays like a tempo-value hybrid—you're both pressuring opponents and building an unstoppable engine.
