Deck overview

This deck is a reanimator and combat-based strategy helmed by Raffine, Scheming Seer. It leverages Raffine's connive ability to filter cards, fill the graveyard, and grow attackers. The primary game plan involves early discard outlets and cheap reanimation spells to bring powerful creatures like Archon of Cruelty, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, and Toxrill, the Corrosive to the battlefield. Secondary threats include token generation from Adeline, Resplendent Cathar and Voice of Victory to maximize connive triggers. The deck wins through overwhelming combat damage, supported by a dense interaction suite and strong protection. It lacks infinite combos but compensates with high resilience, extensive recursion, and the ability to grind out advantages through repeated connive and reanimation loops.
