Aphemia, the Cacophony

Gameplan

Aphemia is a 2-mana mono-black enchantress payoff that grinds value by exiling enchantments from your graveyard each end step to make 2/2 Zombies. Fill the yard with cheap enchantments via card draw, self-mill, and sacrifice, then loop them with recursion to flood the board and feed aristocrats engines.

Key Cards

• Doomwake Giant — Each Zombie you make triggers constellation to drain and shrink the opposing board into oblivion.
• Eidolon of the Great Revel — Cheap enchantment you can rebuy off the yard while it pressures opponents' spells.
• Gravecrawler — With Zombies in play it recurs endlessly from the yard to fuel sacrifice loops.
• Bloodghast — Recursive aristocrats fodder that returns on land drops to feed sac outlets.
• Starlit Mantle — Cheap protection enchantment that also reloads the graveyard for Aphemia to exile.
• Underworld Dreams — A powerful enchantment payoff and a recurring damage source for the engine.

Upgrade Path

Add efficient self-mill (Stitcher's Supplier, Buried Alive) to load the yard faster and more sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer and Carrion Feeder to convert Zombies into drain. Tighten the curve with cheap recurring enchantments and aristocrats payoffs (Blood Artist, Bastion of Remembrance), and include fast mana like Dark Ritual and Sol Ring plus protection to keep Aphemia online. Top-end Liliana, Dread Sovereign or a reanimation package gives the grindy plan a faster kill.
