Overview:
Muldrotha leverages graveyard recursion to generate overwhelming value through land synergies and permanent recursion. The deck focuses on incremental advantage via landfall, reanimation, and big mana finishers like Torment of Hailfire and Exsanguinate, supported by efficient tutors and interaction.
Primer:
Core Strategy:
This deck aims to establish early graveyard recursion engines (e.g., Crucible of Worlds, Life from the Loam) to fuel land-based value (Field of the Dead, Gitrog Monster) and lock opponents out with recurring utility lands (Maze of Ith, Glacial Chasm). Win conditions include:
- Big Mana Payoffs: Cabal Coffers/Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth fueling Torment of Hailfire or Exsanguinate.
- Marit Lage Combo: Dark Depths + Thespian’s Stage, recurred via Muldrotha.
- Overwhelming Board States: Field of the Dead zombie spam or Awaken the Woods land creatures.
Key Lines:
- T1-3: Ramp with Exploration, Burgeoning, or Sol Ring, mill/discard via Intuition/Windfall.
- T4-6: Deploy Muldrotha and recur Eternal Witness/Oracle of Mul Daya for value.
- Late Game: Loop Strip Mine/Wasteland with recursion or resolve game-ending X spells.
Mulligan Priorities:
- Keep hands with 3 lands, early ramp, and at least one graveyard enabler (e.g., Elvish Reclaimer, Sylvan Library).
- Avoid hands without land drops or graveyard setup.
Interaction Suite:
- Counters: Force of Negation, Swan Song, Arcane Denial.
- Removal: Cyclonic Rift, Toxic Deluge, Pernicious Deed.
Weaknesses:
- Critical: Graveyard hate (Rest in Peace, Leyline of the Void) cripples recursion.
- Moderate: Heavy commander removal (Muldrotha’s 6 CMC makes recasting costly).
- Minor: Blood Moon effects (mitigated by basics and Boseiju, Who Endures).
Most Important Cards:
- Crucible of Worlds
- Field of the Dead
- Cabal Coffers
- Dark Depths
- Thespian’s Stage
- Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
- Intuition
- Sylvan Library
- Torment of Hailfire
- Life from the Loam
Attribute Ratings:
Speed: 6/10
- Fast mana and land tutors enable T5-7 wins via Marit Lage or X spells. Lacks T3-4 combos.
Resilience: 7/10
- Redundant recursion (Ramunap Excavator, Conduit of Worlds) and counterspells protect key plays. Vulnerable to graveyard exile.
Consistency: 8/10
- 10+ tutors (Green Sun’s Zenith, Crop Rotation) and card draw engines (Rhystic Study, Tatyova, Benthic Druid).
Interaction: 7/10
- Efficient counters and removal (S-Tier: Force of Negation, A-Tier: Toxic Deluge).
Rating Justification:
The deck operates at 6.0-6.5, aligning with "Focused" (T7-8 wins via synergies) and bordering "Optimized." It outpaces precons with fast mana and tutors but lacks cEDH’s speed (T5-6 deterministic wins) and stax resilience.
Power level: 6.0 - 6.5
