Kotis, the Fangkeeper

Gameplan

Suit up Kotis to deal big chunks of combat damage, then exile that many cards off the victim's library and free-cast any of them with mana value equal to or less than the damage dealt. You're a hybrid Voltron-theft deck: connect early, snowball into casting your opponents' bombs and your own mill payoffs, and grind value every combat thanks to Kotis being indestructible.

Key Cards

• Rogue's Passage — Guarantees a connection so the exile-and-cast trigger always fires.
• Aqueous Form — Cheap unblockable plus scry to set up your own connections every turn.
• Fireshrieker — Double strike doubles the cards exiled and lets you cast higher-MV spells.
• Grafted Exoskeleton — Infect turns Kotis into a fast clock while still triggering the exile ability.
• Glaring Fleshwound — Massive power boost massively widens the pool of free spells you can cast.
• Sword of Feast and Famine — Protection, evasion, and untapped lands to keep casting the spells you steal.

Upgrade Path

Lean into evasion and power-doubling—add multiple equipment like the Swords, Fireshrieker, and trample/unblockable enablers so every swing matters. Tighten the manabase with fast mana (Sol Ring, signets, dual lands) and add protection like Lightning Greaves and Heroic Intervention to ensure connections land. For higher power, pivot toward an infect kill or a compact combo (Thassa's Oracle, infinite combat steps) backstopped by Kotis's indestructibility and Sultai's deep card advantage.
