Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai Voltron and +1/+1 counters build centered around Kotis, the Fangkeeper. Kotis provides a resilient offensive core thanks to inherent indestructible, while its combat damage trigger steals and free-casts spells from opponents' libraries. The early game focuses on developing mana through signets, land searchers, and mana dorks. Once Kotis enters the battlefield, the deck equips and enchants it with power-boosting artifacts like Dragonfire Blade, Sting, Bilbo's Sword, and My Precious, while granting evasion through cards like Key to the Side-Door and Wingspan Stride. Connecting in combat triggers a snowball of free opposing spells and commander damage. Supporting protection spells like Snakeskin Veil defend Kotis from exile and bounce effects. Secondary threats like Temperamental Oozewagg and Dancing from Dark to Dawn spread +1/+1 counters across the wider board, ensuring steady pressure even if commander damage is contested.
