Deck overview

This Grixis deck leans on Nathan Drake's attack trigger to exile and cast opponents' cards, blending theft with a heavy reanimation package. The primary plan is to generate incremental advantage through multiple attacks, then refuel with reanimation spells to put massive threats such as Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre and It That Betrays into play. A secondary path uses commander-centric pump and infect to end a game in one hit. The deck also includes a symmetrical draw-denial lock as a backup control element. With only one commander face, the deck is built entirely around Nathan's attack-trigger engine and the flexible mana it provides.
