Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai Midrange Combat-Theft strategy helmed by Gonti, Canny Acquisitor. It accelerates out low-mana evasive threats like Slither Blade, Invisible Stalker, and Baleful Strix, then resolves Gonti to exile and cast opponents' cards at a discount. The deck compounds this advantage using trigger doublers like Felix Five-Boots, resource engines like Grim Hireling, and heavy attrition pieces like Archon of Cruelty and Brainstealer Dragon. A strong interaction package featuring Deadly Rollick, Mana Drain, Assassin's Trophy, and Toxic Deluge disrupts opponents, while Heroic Intervention and Swiftfoot Boots safeguard the board. The deck wins by snowballing stolen card advantage, draining life totals, and closing games through amplified combat damage powered by Unnatural Growth or Archetype of Imagination.
