Deck overview

This deck is an explosive Sultai Landfall engine piloted by Homer, the Hermit that blends land ramp, self-mill, and graveyard recursion into a lethal multiplayer win condition. The strategy accelerates mana development in the early turns using efficient ramp spells, creature dorks, and land tutors. Once Homer, the Hermit or complementary mill engines like Hedron Crab hit the battlefield, mass land entry effects—such as Scapeshift, Lumra, Bellow of the Woods, and Aftermath Analyst—trigger massive bursts of mill. By targeting opponents, the deck rapidly depletes opposing libraries in a single turn cycle. Alternatively, the deck can mill itself to fuel potent graveyard recursion with Six, Life from the Loam, and Shifting Woodland, generating overwhelming token armies with Field of the Dead or resolving a lethal Finale of Devastation. With free interaction, on-demand shroud from Sylvan Safekeeper, and resilient land-based engines, the deck executes a robust, highly adaptable game plan.
