Deck overview

This Sultai graveyard combo-midrange deck leverages Kotis, Sibsig Champion to convert the graveyard into a repeatable resource hub. In the early game, cheap mana accelerators like Delighted Halfling, Birds of Paradise, and Sol Ring deploy Kotis ahead of curve. Self-mill enablers such as Stitcher's Supplier, Hermit Druid, and Satyr Wayfinder fill the graveyard with creatures, lands, and utility spells. Kotis then casts creatures directly from the graveyard, growing into a massive threat while triggering value engines like River Kelpie and Kishla Skimmer. The primary win condition utilizes an infinite loop between Gravecrawler, Phyrexian Altar, and a Zombie on board (including Kotis). Looping Gravecrawler triggers River Kelpie to draw the entire library, finding Thassa's Oracle for an immediate win on Turn 5. Alternatively, mass reanimation via Living Death or Rise of the Dark Realms overwhelms the table. The deck features robust backup recursion in Muldrotha, the Gravetide and powerful interaction like Cyclonic Rift and Fierce Guardianship.
