Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai midrange strategy that weaponizes radiation counters and mill to build massive, evasive creatures. Led by The Wise Mothman, the deck spreads rad counters to all players on entry and attack. When players mill nonland cards during their precombat main phases, Mothman distributes +1/+1 counters across your board. Counter multipliers like Branching Evolution and Corpsejack Menace accelerate this growth rapidly. The deck sustains card flow through combat damage triggers and counter-based draw effects like Terrasymbiosis and Marcus, Mutant Mayor. While it lacks dedicated fast combo finishes, it applies dual-axis pressure: chunking opposing life totals and libraries with mill while assembling giant mutant attackers to close out the game around turn 8. Interaction is focused on modal removal and flexible board wipes, backed by phase-out protection.
