Araumi of the Dead Tide

Araumi turns your graveyard into a weapon by repeatedly casting creatures for free. You fill your graveyard early with cheap creatures and card draw, then use Araumi's encore ability to flash-create multiple copies of your best creatures that attack each opponent simultaneously. This is especially powerful in multiplayer—a 5-mana creature becomes three attacking copies when you have three opponents. The deck wins by either wearing opponents down with token beats or going wide with high-impact creatures like Gary (Gray Merchant of Asphodel) for massive drain effects.

The core gameplan is self-mill and graveyard synergy. You're running discard outlets, looting effects, and mill cards to stock your graveyard cheaply, then Araumi converts those discarded creatures into explosive turns. This rewards playing undercosted creatures and fatties—creatures matter less in your hand and more in your graveyard. Each activation of encore with the right creature can shift the entire game state, especially against three or more opponents.
