Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai midrange strategy commanded by The Wise Mothman. It blends radiation mechanics, mill attrition, and +1/+1 counter scaling into an aggressive combat engine. The deck establishes early mana, lands Mothman on turn 3 or 4, and uses rad counters to force all players to mill cards. Each nonland card milled triggers Mothman to grow your creatures rapidly. Counter enhancers like Branching Evolution, Hardened Scales, and Innkeeper's Talent accelerate this growth, while cards like Herald of Secret Streams and Wolverine, Claws Out push unblockable lethal damage. In addition to combat beatdown, the deck features indirect burn through Syr Konrad, the Grim and possesses an instant-kill combo in Bloodchief Ascension plus Mindcrank. A rich suite of instant-speed protection and graveyard recursion preserves your board state against board wipes and interaction.
