Deck overview

This Sultai deck pairs land velocity with graveyard recursion under Sin, Spira's Punishment. The game plan revolves around accelerating mana early with high-density ramp spells such as Three Visits, Nature's Lore, and Lotus Cobra, while simultaneously stocking the graveyard through self-mill tools like Stitcher's Supplier, Hedron Crab, and Sidisi, Brood Tyrant. By turns 4 and 5, the deck transitions into its midgame engine, deploying card-advantage powerhouses like Tatyova, Benthic Druid, Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait, and The Gitrog Monster, or casting Sin directly. Sin's ability repeatedly chains through milled lands, generating immense landfall bursts before duplicating a potent nonland threat. Victory is achieved through massive creature swarms produced by Scute Swarm and Avenger of Zendikar, explosive land shifts via Scapeshift, or tall trampling threats like Mossborn Hydra and Basilisk Gate. Supported by a lean suite of countermagic and graveyard recursion, the deck grinds down opposing resources and overruns the table by turn 7.
