Deck overview

This is an Abzan mutate/reanimator deck helmed by Nethroi, Apex of Death, built around the classic "mutate Nethroi to reanimate up to 10 total power" line. The deck fills its graveyard through self-mill (Satyr Wayfinder, Grisly Salvage, Aftermath Analyst, Doom Whisperer, Death's Oasis) and then cashes in with Nethroi's mutate trigger, Living Death, Liliana, Death's Majesty, and Victimize. A dense Cat tribal subtheme - Regal Caracal, Kaheera, the Orphanguard, Feline Sovereign, Pride Sovereign - provides anthem-powered combat as the primary finish. There are no infinite combos; this is a value-midrange deck that wins through incremental board advantage, mass reanimation, and evasive beaters like Vilis, Broker of Blood and Ygra, Eater of All.
