Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai midrange strategy centered on The Wise Mothman. It combines radiation counters, mill triggers, and +1/+1 counter amplification to grow massive evasive threats while applying steady attrition to opponents' life totals and libraries. Early turns focus on mana ramp to cast Mothman by Turn 3. Once deployed, Mothman distributes rad counters on ETB and attacks. During each player's precombat main phase, rad counters cause milling and life loss; whenever nonland cards are milled, Mothman distributes +1/+1 counters across your creatures. Counter amplifiers such as Branching Evolution, Corpsejack Menace, and Hardened Scales rapidly accelerate board power. Mid-game card draw from Mirelurk Queen, Marcus, Mutant Mayor, and Struggle for Project Purity maintains card advantage. The deck closes games through overwhelming combat damage from large flying mutants and lethal commander strikes by Turn 8, supported by instant-speed protection like Mutational Advantage and flexible high-impact removal.
