Deck overview

This Sultai (BUG) deck, helmed by Xavier Sal, Infested Captain, is a counter-manipulation engine that leverages proliferate, populate, and a robust saga package to generate unstoppable board presence. The primary plan is to accumulate and multiply disparate counter types-lore counters on sagas, +1/+1 counters, time counters on Dark Depths-using cards like Evolution Sage, Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus, and Thrummingbird, then either unleash a 20/20 flying indestructible Marit Lage token or flip value sagas (Jin-Gitaxias // The Great Synthesis, Sheoldred // The True Scriptures, Vorinclex // The Grand Evolution) into game-ending effects. Xavier's populate ability turns one marquee token into an army, while his proliferate ability closes the distance on slower win conditions. The deck wins through overwhelming combat, often with multiple Marit Lage copies or a board full of transformed saga creatures. ---
