Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai midrange strategy commanded by Kotis, the Fangkeeper, focusing on weaponizing combat damage to exile and cast opponents' spells for free. Kotis enters as an indestructible threat that benefits greatly from power-boosting equipment such as Hero's Heirloom, Stitcher's Graft, and O-Naginata. Accelerating with early mana dorks allows Kotis to land ahead of curve and start generating card advantage directly from opposing libraries. In the mid-to-late game, the deck transitions into a reanimator and big-mana control package featuring legendary powerhouses like Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, Sheoldred, Whispering One, and Muldrotha, the Gravetide. While Kotis shrugs off traditional damage and destroy-based board wipes, the win condition is purely combat-oriented, requiring methodical attacks to grind down three opponents.
