Ertai Resurrected

Ertai Resurrected is a flexible instant-speed answer that doubles as repeatable disruption. Flash lets you hold up mana and respond to threats mid-combat or in response to key spells, then you pick whether to counter something or remove a creature—and either way, your opponent draws a card, softening the tempo hit. The deck wants to leverage this by playing it multiple times, recurring it from your graveyard or bouncing it back to hand, turning Ertai into a repeatable control engine that grinds out value while keeping the board clean.

Build around ETB effects, card draw, and reanimation payoffs. You'll pack cheap interaction and cantrips to fill your graveyard, enabling flashy plays and setup turns. Bounce effects like Soulherder or reanimation spells turn Ertai into a repeating tax, and since opponents draw cards, you can lean into forced-draw strategies or punish-on-draw effects. The gameplan is to stall the early game, lock down threats as they appear, and eventually win through combat with evasive flyers or card advantage grinding them out.
