Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai midrange engine built around The Wise Mothman. It combines mill mechanics, radiation counters, and +1/+1 counter synergies to generate immense card advantage and combat pressure. Accelerating early with efficient mana dorks and ramp spells allows Mothman to enter on turn 3. Once deployed, the commander infects all players with rad counters, causing opponents to mill cards and lose life during their precombat main phases. Each nonland card milled places +1/+1 counters across your board, turning utility creatures into massive threats while triggering powerful draw engines like Danny Pink and Fathom Mage. The deck protects its board state with flexible phasing and hexproof spells, closing games through overwhelming evasive combat damage or the infinite mill loop of Bloodchief Ascension and Mindcrank.
