Deck overview

This Sultai midrange deck is piloted by The Wise Mothman, combining the Fallout radiation mechanic with explosive +1/+1 counter amplification. The primary game plan focuses on deploying early mana acceleration into a Turn 3 or 4 Mothman. As radiation counters infect all players, each opponent mills cards and loses life during their precombat main phases. Each nonland card milled triggers Mothman to distribute +1/+1 counters across your board. Supported by counter multipliers like Corpsejack Menace, Branching Evolution, and Hardened Scales, alongside proliferate engines such as Agent Frank Horrigan and Radstorm, the deck quickly builds an overwhelming aerial and trampling assault. Disruptive mill artifacts like Mesmeric Orb and Mindcrank accelerate the radiation drain while supercharging your creature growth, closing the game within two combat cycles after onset.
