Deck overview

This deck is a highly focused Sultai Voltron strategy helmed by Kotis, the Fangkeeper. The primary game plan revolves around ramping into Kotis, suiting him up with evasion and power-boosting Auras or Equipment, and swinging for massive combat damage. Because Kotis is natively indestructible, the deck heavily invests in hexproof and ward effects to protect him from exile and bounce removal. When Kotis connects, he exiles cards from the defending player's library and allows you to cast them for free, generating overwhelming card advantage and board presence. The deck forgoes traditional infinite combos in favor of combat inevitability and explosive synergy. Secondary win conditions include Ancient Cellarspawn, which drains opponents for massive life when casting spells for free, and Super State for a devastating, board-wiping burn effect. The deck plays like an unstoppable, evasive threat that turns opponents' own decks against them while holding up efficient countermagic to protect its winning turns.
