Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai lands-and-graveyard strategy commanded by Glarb, Calamity's Augur. It focuses on accelerating mana on early turns, filtering the library through surveil, and filling the graveyard via self-mill. Glarb allows you to play lands and cast spells with mana value four or greater directly from the top of your library, transforming the library into a virtual second hand. Mid-game engines like The Gitrog Monster, Six, and Tatyova, Benthic Druid generate massive card draw and mana velocity. The primary path to victory involves resolving explosive mass land recursion spells—such as Splendid Reclamation, Lumra, Bellow of the Woods, and Will of the Sultai—to return numerous lands from the graveyard to play at once. This triggers devastating landfall payoffs from Rampaging Baloths, Ob Nixilis, the Fallen, and Mossborn Hydra, rapidly overwhelming opponents through massive life drain and lethal combat damage over subsequent turns.
