Deck overview

This Nihiloor deck is an Esper creature-theft midrange deck with Horror tribal support, mill value, discard, and a small control package. Its central play is to deploy several creatures, cast Nihiloor, and use the entry trigger to steal opposing creatures. Captain N'ghathrod, Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholar, Zellix, Sanity Flayer, and Agent of Treachery can turn stolen or attacking creatures into cards and additional board presence. The plan normally assembles around turn 7 and begins meaningful attacks around turn 8. It is not a reliable combo deck: the theft engine depends on Nihiloor surviving, opposing creatures being available, and combat damage connecting. The list has useful answers and powerful haymakers, but its many tapped lands and expensive spells slow development. It can generate strong swing turns in a creature-heavy pod, yet it lacks a dependable route to eliminate all three opponents or lock them out.
