Strategy
Muldrotha, the Gravetide turns your graveyard into a second hand, letting you recast a land plus one permanent of each type from your graveyard each turn. The deck fills the graveyard aggressively with mill and self-sacrifice effects, then grinds out inevitability by replaying value permanents, ramping lands, and looping removal until opponents run out of resources.
Early: Prioritize mana acceleration and self-mill. Sol Ring, Arcane Signet, Fellwar Stone, Birds of Paradise, and Llanowar Elves speed you toward Muldrotha. Sakura-Tribe Elder, Springbloom Druid, Solemn Simulacrum, and Harrow fetch lands and can be re-cast later. Deploy early mill enablers like Stitcher's Supplier, Satyr Wayfinder, Skull Prophet, Hedron Crab, and Sidisi, Brood Tyrant to stock the graveyard with permanents to reuse. Grisly Salvage and Aftermath Analyst dig for lands and creatures while feeding the yard.
Mid: Land Muldrotha and start recurring value each turn. Replay Eternal Witness to buy back key spells, Ramunap Excavator to play lands from your graveyard, and Solemn Simulacrum or Baleful Strix for repeated ramp and card draw. Grind opponents' boards with recurring sacrifice removal: Fleshbag Marauder, Plaguecrafter, Accursed Marauder, Shriekmaw, and Ravenous Chupacabra can be cast from the graveyard turn after turn. Gravebreaker Lamia and Rootcoil Creeper reduce and enable graveyard casting, while Secrets of the Dead and River Kelpie draw cards whenever you cast from the graveyard. Tatyova, Benthic Druid and Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath convert your extra land drops into cards and life.
Late: With Muldrotha online alongside Ramunap Excavator, you generate overwhelming card advantage. Aftermath Analyst and World Shaper return all land cards from the graveyard to the battlefield for explosive ramp; Teval, the Balanced Scale and Six add recursion and Zombie tokens. Meren of Clan Nel Toth reanimates creatures each end step, and Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord and Wight of the Reliquary grow enormous off your stocked graveyard. Kheru Goldkeeper makes Treasure whenever cards leave your graveyard, and Kaya's Ghostform, Animate Dead, and Nyx Weaver provide extra recursion. Board wipes are answered by rebuying threats faster than opponents can rebuild.
Win conditions: Grind opponents out of resources with recurring removal and card advantage, then close with a large attacker: Lord of Extinction and Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord scale with total graveyard cards, and Jarad's sacrifice ability drains each opponent for a creature's power. Muldrotha loops Mulldrifter, Eternal Witness, and sacrifice-removal creatures to establish inevitability while beating down with Wight of the Reliquary and token generators like Sidisi, Brood Tyrant and Teval.
- Ramunap Excavator - Lets you play lands from the graveyard, enabling endless land recursion with sacrifice lands
- Eternal Witness - Repeatable graveyard-to-hand recursion, recastable by Muldrotha for value loops
- Gravebreaker Lamia - Reduces graveyard-cast costs by 1 and tutors a card into the graveyard on entry
- Secrets of the Dead - Draws a card whenever you cast a spell from your graveyard, fueling the recursion engine
- Meren of Clan Nel Toth - Reanimates a creature each end step and rewards sacrificing creatures with experience counters
- Aftermath Analyst - Sacrifices to return all land cards from your graveyard to the battlefield for a huge ramp swing
- Lord of Extinction - Scales its power and toughness with all cards in graveyards for a lethal beater
- Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord - Grows with graveyard creatures and drains opponents by sacrificing creatures
- Fleshbag Marauder - Recurring edict removal that Muldrotha can recast to strip opponents' boards each turn
