Deck overview

This is a Sultai rad-and-mill midrange deck helmed by The Wise Mothman. The plan layers radiation counters on the table, mills opponents (and itself) with crabs, orbs, and draw-punishers, then converts every nonland mill into +1/+1 counters on the team. Counter doublers such as Hardened Scales, Branching Evolution, Corpsejack Menace, and The Earth Crystal turn those triggers into enormous bodies, while Herald of Secret Streams makes the counters unblockable. Secondary pressure comes from pure mill (Bruvac the Grandiloquent, Mesmeric Orb, The Water Crystal, Mindcrank) and Mutant/Zombie value (Jenova, Ancient Calamity, Screeching Scorchbeast, Agent Frank Horrigan). The commander is a strong enabler but not a hard linchpin-the 99 already contains independent mill engines, counter payoffs, and finishers-so the deck still executes when Mothman is answered.
