Deck overview

This deck is a Grixis control and reanimator strategy led by Kefka, Court Mage. In the early turns, the deck develops mana with artifacts and filters cards into the graveyard using looting spells. On Turn 4 or 5, casting Kefka forces all players to discard while drawing several cards based on the different card types discarded, netting valuable card advantage. In the mid game, the deck controls the board with versatile removal and counterspells while disrupting opponents' hands. The deck can close the game in two primary ways: reanimating massive threats such as Sepulchral Primordial and Diluvian Primordial, or transforming Kefka into Kefka, Ruler of Ruin alongside Psychosis Crawler or Niv-Mizzet, Parun to trigger an instant-kill draw loop that eliminates all opponents at once.
