This is a Shrine and legendary-enchantment deck. Hei Bai finds a Shrine when it enters, and its activated ability makes a 1/1 Spirit for each legendary enchantment you control, so a board full of Shrines is both the payoff and the source of tokens. Every Shrine scales with how many Shrines you control, so the deck ramps hard, tutors and recurs Shrines, and stacks them quickly. Enter-the-battlefield effects get doubled or repeated to push that count up. How it wins: Damage and drain from Honden of Infinite Rage, Sanctum of Stone Fangs and Northern Air Temple scale with the Shrine count, backed by an army of Spirit, Monk and Shrine tokens pumped by Southern Air Temple. Key roles: - Mana and fixing: Birds of Paradise, Bloom Tender, Chromatic Lantern and Sanctum Weaver cover five colors and pay for big Shrine turns, while Sanctum of Fruitful Harvest and Kyoshi Island Plaza add more mana and lands. Hei Bai's ability costs all five colors, so this role is essential. - Shrine finding and recursion: Hei Bai, Chronicler of Worship, Sanctum of All and Go-Shintai of Life's Origin find Shrines or bring them back. Enlightened Tutor and Sterling Grove put them on top of the library. This keeps the count climbing. - Shrines as payoffs: Honden of Infinite Rage, Sanctum of Stone Fangs and Southern Air Temple turn the Shrine count into damage, drain and a bigger board. The Spirit Oasis and Honden of Seeing Winds draw cards, and Go-Shintai of Hidden Cruelty and Ancient Wars add removal and reach. - Removal and interaction: Swords to Plowshares, Assassin's Trophy, Ravenous Chupacabra, Cyclonic Rift and Annie Joins Up clear blockers and threats while the Shrines build up. - Trigger doubling and blink: Elesh Norn, Starfield Vocalist, Yarok, Panharmonicon, Gandalf the White and Annie Joins Up double enter-the-battlefield triggers. Momentary Blink, Teleportation Circle, Soulherder and Yenna, Redtooth Regent then replay them, so each Shrine's enter effect (damage, drain, cards, tokens, counters) and Hei Bai's own search happen two or more times.
