Dorothea, Vengeful Victim // Dorothea's Retribution
Fill the graveyard with self-mill, disturb creature spirits into powerful enchantments to trigger constellation and spirit synergies, and out-value opponents with recursive land ramp.
Asked for“A bracket 2 blue/white disturb deck with either Dorothea or Dennick (whichever works better) focused on enchantment synergies, graveyard synergies, and biased toward Innistrad flavor over function if a call is needed (so a less powerful Innistrad card over a more powerful Bloomburrow card for example). Landramp over mana rocks - for example Court of Ardenvale getting back evolving wilds.”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
