Deck overview

This deck is a synergistic Sultai midrange strategy commanded by The Wise Mothman, blending mill, radiation counters, and +1/+1 counter distribution. The primary plan revolves around ramping into Mothman on Turn 3 or 4, then leveraging its enter and attack triggers alongside cards like Mesmeric Orb, Mindcrank, and Ruin Crab to mill libraries across the table. Each milled nonland card grows Mothman and accompanying Mutant threats into massive beaters while radiation passively drains opponent life totals. Card velocity is sustained through graveyard access and creature-based draw engines like Marcus, Mutant Mayor and Guardian Project. The deck closes games through evasive commander damage and broad combat swings supported by late-game bombs like Breach the Multiverse and Agent Frank Horrigan. While resilient to grindy games, it is susceptible to targeted removal on Mothman and well-timed board wipes.
