Deck overview

This Araumi of the Dead Tide deck is a synergistic Dimir graveyard strategy designed to overwhelm three opponents by triplicating powerful enter-the-battlefield abilities. Early turns focus on filling the graveyard with self-mill creatures like Stitcher's Supplier and Mire Triton while ramping into a Turn 3 Araumi. Once assembled on Turn 4, Araumi generates tremendous card flow and board attrition by encoring utility creatures such as Cloudkin Seer and Plaguecrafter. The deck reaches critical pressure around Turn 6 by encoring devastating finishers like Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Massacre Wurm, or Dire Fleet Ravager. These encore bursts drain opponent life totals en masse and dismantle opposing boards, setting up a definitive table elimination by Turn 7. While the deck boasts robust backup reanimation through Living Death and Victimize, it remains vulnerable to targeted graveyard exile and removal targeting Araumi during her summoning sickness window.
