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.
