Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai Voltron and card-theft strategy led by Kotis, the Fangkeeper. Kotis provides a resilient offensive core thanks to native indestructibility and a combat damage trigger that exiles cards from defending players' libraries and casts spells for free. The primary plan ramps into Kotis on Turn 4, attaches evasive auras and stat-boosting equipment on Turn 5, and initiates heavy combat damage on Turn 6. As Kotis connects, stolen spells accelerate board development and disrupt opponents without spending additional mana. High-impact equipment like Blackblade Reforged, Genji Glove, and Quietus Spike quickly turn Kotis into a lethal threat. Defensive tools such as Conqueror's Flail, Swiftfoot Boots, and Vanishing protect Kotis from exile removal and opposing interaction. While the deck lacks instant-speed stack countermagic and dedicated tutor density, its high redundancy in evasion and stat modifiers ensures a dependable combat clock.
