Muldrotha, the Gravetide

Gameplan

Muldrotha turns your graveyard into a second hand, letting you replay a land, creature, artifact, enchantment, and planeswalker from your yard every turn. You grind out value through repeatable ETB effects, sacrifice loops, and recursion until you out-resource the table, then close with an engine or combo.

Key Cards

• Crucible of Worlds — Lets you replay fetchlands and sacrifice lands every turn alongside Muldrotha's land drop.
• Sakashima of a Thousand Faces — Copies Muldrotha for redundancy and a second engine that survives removal of the original.
• Strionic Resonator — Cheap artifact you can recur and reuse to double powerful ETB and triggered abilities.
• Ramunap Excavator — Backs up the land recursion plan and combos with sacrifice-lands for value.
• Phyrexian Altar — Provides mana and a sacrifice outlet to fuel recursion combos and creature loops.
• Eternal Witness — Recurs spells from the yard and itself reentry off Muldrotha for repeatable retrieval.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana (Mana Crypt, Mox Diamond) and dual lands to set up Muldrotha sooner, plus tutors (Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor) to assemble combos consistently. Lean into a compact win like Mikaeus/Triskelion or an altar-based drain loop rather than purely grinding value. Protect your engine with counterspells and recurring interaction, and trim slow do-nothing permanents.
