Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a tuned Sultai graveyard-value midrange deck helmed by Muldrotha, the Gravetide. The plan is to fill the graveyard early with millers and self-discard, land Muldrotha, the Gravetide, and then replay a land plus one permanent of each type from the yard every turn for relentless advantage. Primary wins come from looping sacrifice outlets (Altar of Dementia, Ashnod's Altar, Cauldron of Essence) with drain and mill payoffs (Syr Konrad, the Grim), mass reanimation via Living Death, and grinding opponents out under recursive value creatures and tokens from Teval, the Balanced Scale and Kheru Goldkeeper. Reanimation Auras (Animate Dead, Necromancy) and tutors-to-yard (Buried Alive, Final Parting) give the deck lines that function even when Muldrotha is answered. The curve is low (AMV ~2.59) with solid dork and rock acceleration, but the deck is deliberately grindy rather than turbo-combo.
