Orzhov Amalia wins through incremental lifegain triggers off Haliya, Aunt May, Hinterland Sanctifier, and Case of the Uneaten Feast feeding Amalia Benavides Aguirre's explore counters, so Duress proactively takes away a key noncreature piece like Lunar Convocation, Case of the Uneaten Feast, or Erode before the engine comes online. Gideon the Oathless punishes every creature they deploy with 1 damage, which adds up quickly against their creature-dense low-curve plan, and his ward lets him survive their removal-light early game. Stinging Vitriol's hand disruption is less valuable than proactive disruption against a deck assembling a wide board rather than holding reactive spells, and Valley Flamecaller is a weaker body than what's coming in since it doesn't interact with their lifegain engine. Prioritize killing Amalia Benavides Aguirre and Haliya, Guided by Light before the lifegain snowball turns into inevitable card advantage.
