Archetype #4 - Orzhov Tokens Led by powerhouses such as Lingering Souls and Sorin, Lord of Innistrad, this deck dominated Standard
If a permanent with a shield counter loses its abilities, the shield counter will still protect it as normal
I wanted the upgrade path to build around Anikthea, Hand of Erebos more, which isn't necessarily a stronger path than just being a generic Enchantress deck that occasionally casts Anikthea for value, but I think it's more interesting
(Until there are enough options for a high-density of solid sacrifice outlets in Temur colors, I wouldnt go all in on that plan, but the one-off is a nice option that synergizes with the rest of the deck.) There are a lot of creatures with great abilities for +1/+1 counters, and we also just want back-up options in case casting our commander becomes difficult
This deck has 3 other ones which I feel are stronger and more favourable for the deck strategy
