Deck overview

This Sultai deck harnesses mill mechanics and graveyard reanimation led by The Master, Transcendent. The primary strategy rapidly fills all graveyards using rad counters, Mesmeric Orb, Dreamborn Muse, and incidental mill triggers. The Master leverages these stocked graveyards by reanimating the strongest milled creature cards each turn as 3/3 Mutants, stealing opposing win conditions and generating immense board presence. To decisively close games, the list pivots into a compact two-card infinite mana combo using Deadeye Navigator and Peregrine Drake. Once infinite mana is generated, Deadeye Navigator repeatedly flickers The Master to assign fatal quantities of rad counters across all opponents, or flickers Eternal Witness to recur spells like kicked Maddening Cacophony or Altar of the Brood for a same-turn table elimination. Backed by low-cost interaction, robust protection spells, and alternate win routes like Syr Konrad, the Grim and Phenax, God of Deception, the deck consistently threatens victory on Turn 5.
