Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai saboteur and theft midrange deck commanded by Felix Five-Boots. Its central strategy revolves around connecting in combat with evasive creatures to trigger powerful on-hit abilities, which Felix doubles for overwhelming card advantage, mana generation, and board development. The early game focuses on deploying cheap unblockable attackers like Slither Blade and Ukkima, Stalking Shadow alongside ramp such as Nature's Lore and Arcane Signet. In the midgame, casting Felix transforms saboteurs like Thief of Sanity, Cold-Eyed Selkie, and Fallen Shinobi into massive value engines that steal opposing spells and draw deep into the library. The late game closes out matches through compounded +1/+1 counters from Cazur, Ruthless Stalker, massive manifested boards from Orochi Soul-Reaver, or raw combat power from bombs like Ghalta, Primal Hunger and Railway Brawler. While vulnerable to board sweepers and combat disruption, the deck maintains high redundancy across its saboteur threats.
