Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai Voltron and combat-theft strategy centered on Kotis, the Fangkeeper. The game plan focuses on accelerating mana on turns 1 and 2 to cast Kotis on turn 3, followed by granting the commander unblockable evasion and elevated power through equipment and auras. When Kotis connects in combat, its ability exiles cards equal to the damage dealt and casts all eligible spells for free, generating overwhelming board advantage while draining opponents with Ancient Cellarspawn or doubling triggers via Felix Five-Boots. Innate indestructible protects Kotis from standard sweepers, while a tight package of low-cost countermagic and hexproof spells shields against targeted exile and bounce. The deck finishes games by eliminating opponents with lethal commander damage and stolen threats by turn 7.
