Strategy
Muldrotha, the Gravetide leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, filling the graveyard and bringing threats back from it. The list holds 15 ramp pieces, 10 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 2.90.
Early: The early turns belong to ramp. Sakura-Tribe Elder and the other 15 ramp pieces exist to get Muldrotha, the Gravetide out well before its printed cost of 6 would allow.
Mid: Once the commander is down, the deck wants to be doing two things at once: advancing its own board and answering everyone else's. Seal of Primordium is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Secrets of the Dead keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Pernicious Deed for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 2 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 2.90 average mana value the top end is middling, which means most turns hold two spells.
Win conditions: Wins by putting something far too large onto the battlefield far too early, repeatedly.
- Spore Frog - Core to the plan
