Deck overview

This deck is a specialized Grixis combo-control list commanded by Mairsil, the Pretender. The primary game plan revolves around stocking the graveyard with powerful activated abilities from creatures and artifacts, then using Mairsil to exile them with cage counters. By caging Aetherling, Mairsil gains self-flickering capability, which dodges removal and resets his once-per-turn activation clause upon re-entering. The deck leverages Asmodeus the Archfiend for burst card advantage, drawing seven cards for three black mana without suffering Asmodeus's static drawback. It controls the table using a repeatable, asymmetric board wipe engine formed by caging Nevinyrral's Disk alongside Aetherling. To close out games, the deck executes an infinite damage loop by caging Endling, Blood Vassal, and Triskelion, allowing Mairsil to grant himself undying, sacrifice himself for black mana, return to play, and ping the table to death.
