Deck overview

This is a Sultai landfall-mill deck built around Homer, the Hermit. The plan is to flood the battlefield with Crabs, Lobsters, Nautiluses, Starfish, and Trilobites - using actual tribal creatures, changelings, and Maskwood Nexus - then turn every land drop into a massive mill trigger. Early Hedron Crab and Ruin Crab apply pressure while ramp spells and extra-land-drop effects like Exploration, Azusa, Lost but Seeking, and Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait set up explosive turns. Ancient Greenwarden and Yarok, the Desecrated double the landfall triggers, and The Water Crystal amplifies every milling event. The deck wins by emptying all three libraries through repeated landfall, with Maddening Cacophony and Singularity Rupture as backup mass-mill finishers. It is a synergy deck rather than a combo deck; no infinite loops exist, but the landfall chains can remove entire libraries in one turn.
