Deck overview

Muldrotha, the Gravetide commands a Sultai midrange deck that turns the graveyard into a powerful second hand while leveraging explosive landfall synergies. The early game focuses on developing mana through land ramp and stocking the graveyard with self-mill creatures and sacrifice lands. On Turn 5, Muldrotha enters the battlefield to establish a recurring value loop, replaying lands and casting permanent spells of each card type directly from the graveyard. This engine fuels wide token armies through Scute Swarm, Titania, Protector of Argoth, and Rampaging Baloths, while Syr Konrad, the Grim and Altar of Dementia provide potent noncombat burn and mill. The deck also carries asymmetric attrition tools like Oppression and Death Cloud that punish opponents while Muldrotha easily recovers lost resources. An untutored Thassa's Oracle and Demonic Consultation package offers an alternate win condition, but the primary plan wins through resilient board presence and overwhelming recursion.
