Strategic Overview

Orzhov Greasefang aims to reanimate Parhelion II quickly to overwhelm the opponent with flying attackers, while Selesnya Company seeks to flood the board with value creatures and gain incremental advantage through Collected Company. Orzhov needs to disrupt Selesnya's board development and protect its combo pieces, while Selesnya should focus on graveyard hate and efficient removal to break up the combo.

Liliana of the Veil
Duress
Dread Return

Bring in Thoughtseize and Go Blank to disrupt Selesnya's hand and graveyard. Fatal Push helps deal with early threats. Remove less impactful cards like Duress and Dread Return, as they are less effective against creature-heavy strategies.

Rest in Peace is crucial to shut down the Greasefang combo. Knight of Autumn can destroy artifacts or gain life, while Skyclave Apparition provides versatile removal. Trim mana dorks and less impactful creatures to make room for these answers.
