Deck overview

This is a WB sacrifice-and-proliferate value deck helmed by Minthara, Merciless Soul. The core strategy revolves around triggering Minthara's end-step ability by having permanents leave the battlefield (through sacrifice, combat, or flicker), accumulating experience counters, and then turning those counters into a combat advantage via Minthara's +1/+0 anthem. The deck runs a heavy proliferate subtheme to accelerate experience counters, +1/+1 counters, and poison counters, while generating value from death triggers, drain effects, and token generation. Secondary win conditions include Elenda, the Dusk Rose's vampire swarm, Daxos the Returned's spirit tokens, and Myojin of Grim Betrayal's mass reanimation. The deck is a grindy, midrange value engine that aims to outlast opponents through recursion and incremental advantage rather than assembling a fast combo.
