Aluren

Creature Combo

Featured list~$3505Granducato - 2026 - Maggio @ Italy

Overview

"Aluren resolves its namesake enchantment so every creature with converted mana cost three or less can be cast for free at instant speed, then abuses that window with Cavern Harpy and Raven Familiar. Harpy bounces Raven Familiar to recast it for free and filter the deck, while paying one life returns Harpy to repeat the loop and draw toward the kill. Birds of Paradise and Wall of Roots fuel the early turns, Intuition and Survival of the Fittest tutor the pieces, and Cabal Therapy strips disruption, making it a toolbox combo deck."

Game Plan

Spend the early game sculpting your hand with Raven Familiar and protecting yourself with Cabal Therapy. Once Aluren is in play, combo off with Cavern Harpy and a drain creature.
