Notes

Oloro sits, serene and eternal, while your opponents slowly wither. Soul Purpose is an Esper control-combo deck that weaponizes lifegain into inevitability. You’ll drain the table while rarely lifting a finger, stacking passive triggers, draining engines, and pillow-fort defenses until you're sitting on a mountain of life—and they're begging for mercy. With a toolkit of enchantments, extort effects, and death-by-a-thousand-cuts combos, this deck rewards patience, planning, and a sadistic sense of humor. Winning never felt so comfortable.

Exchange List:

Vampire Nighthawk -- Archivist of Oghma
Wall of Reverence -- Teferi, Time Raveler

Quietus Spike -- Inkshield
