Overview:
A creature-heavy Sultai deck that leverages Glarb, Calamity's Augur's ability to cast high-mana-value spells from the top of the library, focusing on mutate creatures and value generation through card advantage and creature synergies.
Primer:
The deck's primary strategy revolves around establishing early ramp through traditional green sources and utilizing Glarb, Calamity's Augur's ability to cast high-mana-value spells from the library top. The mutate subtheme provides additional value through creatures like Brokkos, Apex of Forever and Otrimi, the Ever-Playful, while card advantage engines like Beast Whisperer and The Great Henge keep the hand full.
The deck operates by establishing its mana base early through ramp spells and mana dorks, then leveraging Glarb's surveil ability to set up advantageous plays from the top of the library. The deck can win through combat damage with mutated creatures, while cards like Triumph of the Hordes provide alternate win conditions. Card advantage engines and value creatures ensure sustained pressure throughout the game.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to graveyard hate, which impacts its mutate recursion strategy. It relies heavily on creatures, making it susceptible to board wipes, though some resilience exists through mutate's ability to rebuild. The deck has limited instant-speed interaction, with only a handful of counterspells and removal spells, making it potentially weak against combo decks.
Most Important Cards:
- The Great Henge
- Beast Whisperer
- Brokkos, Apex of Forever
- Triumph of the Hordes
- Sol Ring
- Lurking Predators
- Volo, Guide to Monsters
- Toski, Bearer of Secrets
- Assassin's Trophy
- Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma
Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 5/10
- Resilience: 6/10
- Consistency: 6/10
- Interaction: 4/10
Rating Justification:
This deck falls into the optimized casual category, with its ability to consistently execute its gameplan around turn 8-10. While it includes some powerful cards like The Great Henge and efficient removal, it lacks the explosive fast mana and consistent early game threats of higher-powered decks. The mutate theme and creature-based strategy, while synergistic, keep it firmly in the casual realm compared to more competitive strategies.
Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
The deck demonstrates clear synergies and a focused gameplan, placing it above precon level but below more competitive builds. Its reliance on creature-based strategies and limited interaction suite prevents it from competing with higher-powered decks, while its efficient card advantage engines and ability to cast high-mana spells from the library top elevate it above purely casual builds.
Glarb, Calamity's Augur
