I'll write a more detailed description once I finish testing out this list and working out the kinks, but for now this will have to do.

People seem to be going in either one of two directions with Muldrotha, the Gravetide. From what I've seen, they either go for a creature packed, low to the ground reanimator strategy, or they build the more competitive all-in stax. While both of these are solid approaches, this list is focused on recurring extremely efficient control and generating maximum card advantage.

Muldrotha, the Gravetide is just BEGGING to be abused in a control shell that doesnt have to rely on the classic stax lines. Make no mistake, much like stax, this list is centered around recurring mass disruption shenanigans, just not in the traditional way.

And sure, its fun to reanimate big creatures or make an army of undead minions, but have you ever experienced the pure unbridled joy of locking everyone out of the game with Decree of Silence or the softer, slightly more hilarious yet equally untempting Standstill in play? Its simply the best.

Some of the notable interactions and potentially odd card choices:

Mindslaver -should be an auto include, as artifact exile is uncommon and you win by default if you can crack it once you are down to one opponent.

The Gitrog Monster + Mind Over Matter -has been really fun so far, great board manipulation.

Sylvan Safekeeper + Titania, Protector of Argoth -this is just one potential finisher that makes great use of our ability to recur things like Myriad Landscape and Blighted Woodland in the late game.

Decree of Silence, Lunar Force, & Standstill -these are some of our most interesting control pieces. If we can get Decree of Silence online with Muldrotha, the Gravetide in play, most people just scoop on the spot if they can't counter it. I was strongly considering Reality Twist but I think it might be too conditional.

Lion's Eye Diamond + Muldrotha, the Gravetide -is absolutely bonkers, it essentially acts as a Black Lotus in this deck.

Please share any thoughts or questions you might have, as I would love to hear your feedback.
