Kotose, the Silent Spider

Kotose is a graveyard-disruptive threat that locks down your opponents while giving you access to their best cards. When she enters, you pick a card from an opponent's graveyard and exile all copies of it from their graveyard, hand, and library—effectively removing a key piece from their strategy. The real payoff is that you get to cast one of those exiled cards for free (paying only mana), turning their own threats into your resources. This creates a unique tension: you're simultaneously weakening opponents while powering yourself up, all from a 4/4 body that's reasonably evasive as a Ninja.

The deck wants to enable Kotose's ETB effect as much as possible, so you'll lean into flicker and reanimation effects to reset her ability multiple times. Each activation is a mini-tutor + exile effect that generates huge value. You're looking to hit high-impact cards like tutors, combo pieces, or threats they've discarded, then use them to outpace the table. The game plan is controlling the graveyard while assembling resources, eventually winning through a combination of Kotose's evasion, the stolen cards you're casting, and general card advantage.
