The Lady of Otaria

Gameplan

Cheat The Lady of Otaria into play early by tapping three Dwarves, then build a wide Dwarf board while grinding card advantage off lands hitting the graveyard each turn. You loop fetchlands, sacrifice outlets, and land recursion to trigger her end-step dig, refilling your hand with Dwarves before overrunning the table with a buffed-up tribal army.

Key Cards

• Magda, Brazen Outlaw — Buffs Dwarves and turns their taps into Treasures that ramp into dragons and artifacts while you cast Otaria for free.
• Crucible of Worlds — Lets you replay fetchlands and Strip Mine every turn, guaranteeing Otaria's land-to-graveyard trigger fires repeatedly.
• Zuran Orb — A free, repeatable sacrifice outlet that reliably puts a land in the graveyard each turn to enable the dig.
• Depala, Pilot Exemplar — Anthems and draws off Dwarves, stacking with Otaria for a deep tribal card-advantage engine.
• Splendid Reclamation — Returns all those sacrificed fetchlands at once for explosive mana and a guaranteed trigger setup.

Upgrade Path

Tighten the manabase with all available green-red fetchlands plus Crucible of Worlds and Ramunap Excavator so the end-step trigger never misses. Add Magda Treasure payoffs and free sacrifice outlets like Zuran Orb to make land-to-graveyard automatic, then top the curve with a reliable finisher such as Craterhoof Behemoth or a tutorable game-ending dragon.
