Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai Mutant tribal and radiation attrition build piloted by The Wise Mothman. The primary game plan revolves around deploying low-cost mana ramp and Mutant creatures before casting Mothman on Turn 4 to distribute radiation counters across all four players. As each player's precombat main phase begins, rad counters mill cards; whenever nonland cards hit the graveyard, Mothman triggers to distribute +1/+1 counters across your growing creature army. The deck amplifies this counter generation using enhancers like Branching Evolution, Hardened Scales, and Agent Frank Horrigan, while aggressive payoffs such as Wolverine, Claws Out and Hancock, Ghoulish Mayor scale attacking power for lethal combat damage. Supported by a robust removal suite including Assassin's Trophy and Culling Ritual, and alternate win conditions like Simic Ascendancy, the deck grinds down opposing life totals while building an overwhelming, evasive aerial assault that typically closes games around Turn 8.
