GREETINGS!

This is my updated sultai zombie reanimator deck I whipped up as an experiment, featuring Skaab Ruinator, Lotleth Troll, and Vengevine.

OBJECTIVE

Summon as many creatures as possible from your graveyard and hand, for as little mana as possible. Try to return Bloodghasts, Prized Amalgams, and Vengevines from your graveyard without paying for them.

Discard outlets Cryptbreaker, Lotleth Troll, and Rotting Regisaur dump creatures in your graveyard so you can bring them back free later.

Sacrifice outlet Carrion Feeder (which is now legal!) allows for crazy shenanigans with Gravecrawler and Stitcher's Supplier. Repeatedly casting the Crawlers helps trigger your Amalgams and Vines.

Skaab Ruinator eats up any useless zombies in your graveyard and is a great finisher if the Vines can’t seal the deal.

SIDEBOARD

I designed the sideboard for specifically dealing with graveyard-hate. This build can transform into a more straightforward zombie deck with Death Baron and Rotting Regisaur, with various forms of removal available to deal with a wide range of possible threats.

WHY SULTAI?

I splash blue for Prized Amalgam and Skaab Ruinator, and green for Assassin's Trophy, Grisly Salvage, Lotleth Troll, and Vengevine.

Although this extreme self-milling build is weak to graveyard-hate, it appears to be even faster than my other zombie variants running Aether Vial. It’s possible to overwhelm the opponent before they know what hit ‘em.

This is a work in progress!

Comments and suggestions are welcome!
