Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai saboteur aggro-control strategy commanded by Felix Five-Boots. The deck curve begins with dense, low-cost unblockable creatures like Changeling Outcast, Invisible Stalker, and Slither Blade. It transitions into combat-damage draw engines such as Coastal Piracy, Reconnaissance Mission, and Bident of Thassa. When Felix enters the battlefield, all combat damage triggers are doubled, turning modest attacks into massive surges of card advantage, Treasure mana from Grim Hireling, and land untaps from Nature's Will. The deck leverages this immense card and mana velocity to chain consecutive extra-turn spells including Temporal Manipulation, Expropriate, and Walk the Aeons, while utilizing repeatable cipher spells like Stolen Identity and Undercity Plague to dismantle opposing boards and generate lethal attacking armies. While vulnerable to early board wipes and light on instant interaction, its sheer draw density and evasion ensure high mid-game inevitability.
