Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai midrange combat and attrition strategy led by The Wise Mothman. It combines rad counter distribution, self- and opponent-mill, and rapid +1/+1 counter growth. Efficient 1-2 CMC ramp spells reliably power out Mothman on Turn 3. As players mill nonland cards during upkeeps and attacks, Mothman distributes counters across your creatures, rapidly building massive evasive threats. Synergies like Branching Evolution, Danny Pink, and Mesmeric Orb compound this engine by generating immense board presence and drawing cards. Alternative win conditions leverage table-wide life loss through Syr Konrad, the Grim and Bloodchief Ascension, or unblockable combat damage with Herald of Secret Streams. Dedicated protection spells like Ripples of Potential and Mutational Advantage defend modified boards against sweepers, allowing the deck to close games consistently by Turn 7.
