Type: Synergistic Eternal Cube
Identity: Graveyard is the name of the game
Speed: medium-fast
Colors: mostly 2-3
Theaters: Aggro, Midrange, Control - no 2-card Combo (but very strong synergies)

 

 

Reanimator strategies that intersect with Self-Discard and Self-Mill. Usually based in black but white contributes a weenie plan and red an artifact angle.

---

Artifact decks are very open-ended and the slower decks benefit a lot from filling the graveyard.

---

This strategy is enabled by looters and various discard outlets and intersects well with reanimator and self-mill. Madness, single card payoffs and cast after discarding are the main benefits.

---

Strong colorless enablers jumpstart the different self-mill strategies. Approaches can vary from dredge, to traditional self-mill and payoffs include delve, delirium, library combi and graveyard cast mechanics.

---

Lands strategies tend to be base green but not necessarily more than two colors. There is a lot of overlap with the sacrifice, recursion and self-mill themes.

Weenie deck that gets boosted by small MV recursion.

Big and small artifact recycling. Can be low to the ground or more value driven.

Produce bodies and sacrifice them for value or damage. Resilient and aggressive.

See above.

At the intersection of blink and artifacts. Generate artifact tokens with blink spells and rebuy your trinkets from the grave.

Good at clogging up the board and winning through attrition.

Make lots of dinky creatures and artifacts and use them for incremental little advantages.

Fast madness deck with chonky creatures and some combat tricks.

Slower than Gruul with a more midrange gameplan.

One of the slower, more controlling decks.

Combines well with colorless discard payoffs for an endless stream of value.

Use cards in hand to push damage for a Semi-Combo kill.

Prolong the game with counterspells and removal and play some big threats.

Mill your deck for the alternate wincon win and if you happen to mill that, green will help you get it back.
