Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Nethroi, Apex of Death mutate/reanimator deck built around one explosive line: fill the graveyard, cast Nethroi, and mutate him onto a creature to reanimate up to 10 total power of threats in a single trigger. The deck runs sixteen mutate creatures that chain value onto a single stack, with Zetalpa, Primal Dawn, Phantom Nishoba, and Polukranos, Unchained as the premier reanimation targets. Combat with a reanimated board is the primary win, backed by Syr Konrad, the Grim as a drain engine that profits from the deck's constant milling. Mass reanimation in Eerie Ultimatum, Living Death, and Deadbridge Chant provides redundancy, while Bolas's Citadel and Finale of Devastation offer late-game reach. The deck is a midrange value pile that trades speed for overwhelming board presence and recursion depth.
