Deck Strategies
Rashmi, Eternities Crafter
A spellslinger deck that casts multiple spells per turn to generate card advantage, aiming to combo off with Enter the Infinite and Thassa's Oracle to draw the entire deck and win.
Thraximundar
A sacrifice-based deck that uses recurring creatures like Grave Crawler and Phyrexian Altar to create a loop dealing damage through Mayhem Devil and growing Thraximundar's power.
Muldrotha, the Gravetide
A graveyard recursion deck that combines Angel of Suffering and Command the Dread-Horde to mill the entire deck while taking self-damage, aiming for a win with Thassa's Oracle.
Atla Palani, Nest Tender
A dinosaur tribal deck that generates large quantities of dinosaur tokens via eggs and creatures like Polyraptor, then sacrifices them to Phyrexian Altar to produce infinite mana for casting more threats.
Gameplay Insights
- 1
Rashmi's spellslinger plan hinges on casting high-cost spells early to enable free spells from the top of the library, maximizing card draw and setting up the Enter the Infinite and Thassa's Oracle combo.
- 2
Thraximundar benefits greatly from recurring sacrifice loops with Grave Crawler and Phyrexian Altar to incrementally deal damage and grow itself, pressuring opponents continuously.
- 3
Muldrotha's interaction between Angel of Suffering and Command the Dread-Horde creates a powerful self-mill engine that can rapidly deck the player while maintaining board presence, threatening a lethal Thassa's Oracle finish.

Atla's ability to generate egg tokens that hatch into dinosaurs, combined with Polyraptor's token creation on damage and sacrifice outlets like Phyrexian Altar, enables a potent infinite mana and token generation combo.

The use of Emergent Ultimatum to cast multiple high-impact spells in Muldrotha's deck including Expropriate adds a layer of political and game-ending potential, forcing opponents to make difficult decisions.
