Deck overview

This deck is a high-power Mardu cheat and reanimator strategy piloted by Kaalia of the Vast. The primary game plan accelerates Kaalia onto the battlefield on Turn 3 using dense low-cost mana rocks and rituals, then attacks on Turn 4 to cheat colossal Angels, Demons, and Dragons directly onto the battlefield tapped and attacking. Cheated threats like Master of Cruelties eliminate opponents in a single strike, while Razaketh, the Foulblooded, Vilis, Broker of Blood, and Ancient Copper Dragon generate overwhelming card advantage and mana velocity. Robust protection spells such as Deflecting Swat, Grand Abolisher, and Teferi's Protection shield Kaalia during her vulnerable attack window. Secondary plans leverage graveyard reanimation spells, mass land destruction with Armageddon, and an infinite combat loop using Aggravated Assault and Sword of Feast and Famine to guarantee victory if Kaalia is answered.
