Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai saboteur strategy that uses cheap, unblockable creatures to trigger Gonti, Canny Acquisitor and other combat-damage payoffs. By attacking all three opponents simultaneously, the deck steals multiple opposing cards each turn while gaining mana discounts and color fixing. The mana curve is lean, featuring dense two-mana ramp to ensure Gonti enters the battlefield on Turn 4. Once established, the deck scales its threat level through +1/+1 counter engines like Cazur, Ruthless Stalker and alternate win conditions like Strixhaven Stadium, while keeping hands full through Edric, Spymaster of Trest and Reconnaissance Mission. The deck trades combo speed for consistent resource generation and evasion, using counterspells and flexible removal to disrupt key threats. Its main vulnerability is prolonged exposure to creature sweepers, as it must maintain a wide board over multiple combat cycles to eliminate all opponents.
