Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai Keyword Reanimator strategy commanded by Indominus Rex, Alpha. The primary game plan focuses on spending the early turns ramping into five mana to cast Indominus Rex on Turn 4. As it enters the battlefield, the pilot discards multi-keyword creatures to grant Indominus a suite of powerful abilities—chiefly hexproof, indestructible, haste, trample, deathtouch, and lifelink—while drawing a card for each counter. This interaction completely refills the hand while creating an immediate, resilient combat threat. In the midgame, the deck converts the discarded high-mana creatures in the graveyard into overwhelming board presence using efficient reanimation spells such as Reanimate, Victimize, and Living Death. Supported by cheap countermagic like Fierce Guardianship and Stubborn Denial, the deck defends its board against mass exile effects and closes out the game through lethal combat damage across multiple turns.
