Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai midrange engine built around The Wise Mothman, blending radiation counters, mill attrition, and explosive +1/+1 counter proliferation. In the early game, the deck establishes its mana curve using efficient two-mana ramp spells, landing Mothman on Turn 3 or 4 to distribute radiation counters to every player. As players enter their precombat main phases, radiation forces them to mill cards and lose life for each nonland card milled. Mothman converts these mill triggers into a steady stream of +1/+1 counters distributed across your board. Synergies like Corpsejack Menace, Branching Evolution, Evolution Sage, and Mesmeric Orb rapidly compound this growth, turning evasive mutants and flying attackers into massive lethal threats. Meanwhile, cards like Rhystic Study, Terrasymbiosis, and Muldrotha, the Gravetide provide sustained card flow and graveyard recursion. The deck closes games by overwhelming opponents through lethal combat damage and compounding radiation damage over several turn cycles.
