Eriette of the Charmed Apple
Eriette of the Charmed Apple Commander Deck
Eriette turns every Aura into a drain: at each of her end steps, each opponent loses life and she gains life equal to the number of Auras controlled. The deck is a dense pile of cheap Auras, mostly one- and two-drops. Removal-style Auras, curses and land Auras pin down opposing creatures, and since an enchanted creature can't attack its controller, every Aura on an enemy creature is also a fog. Aura-cast draw engines refuel the hand, and life-loss amplifiers and pillowfort pieces let the drain grind the table out. How it wins: Repeated end-step drains from Eriette, scaled by a large Aura count and multiplied by life-loss doublers, kill all opponents while the deck sits safely behind its pacified board. Key roles: - Pacifying removal Auras: These neutralize threats while raising the Aura count, and under Eriette the enchanted creatures also can't attack. Exile-on-enter land Auras deal with threats without needing a creature target. (Prison Term, Ossification, Darksteel Mutation) - Aura-cast card engines: These draw a card whenever an Aura or enchantment is cast, and cantrip Auras replace themselves, keeping the stream of cheap Auras flowing. (Sram, Senior Edificer, Kor Spiritdancer, Mesa Enchantress) - Life-loss amplification and extra bleed: These double or repeat the opponents' life loss, and life-loss Auras and curses add to Eriette's drain. (Bloodletter of Aclazotz, Wound Reflection, Stab Wound) - Aura tutoring and recursion: Casting an Aura can fetch another one onto Light-Paws, building Aura count fast. Cheap Auras come back from the graveyard, and returning or rebuying Auras keeps the count high. (Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice, Lurrus of the Dream-Den, Nurgle's Rot) - Pillowfort and protection: Attack taxes that scale with enchantments, plus protection for Eriette and the key creatures, keep the deck alive while the drain works. Voltron-style Auras like Sage's Reverie turn a protected creature into a backup threat. (Sphere of Safety, Ghostly Prison, Mother of Runes) - Snow and enchantment mana: The snow basics enable On Thin Ice and Gelid Shackles. Enchantment- and devotion-based lands produce explosive mana for multi-Aura turns. (Serra's Sanctum, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, On Thin Ice)
