Legendary Creature — Spirit
Myojin of Grim Betrayal enters with an indestructible counter on it if you cast it from your hand. Remove an indestructible counter from Myojin of Grim Betrayal: Put onto the battlefield under your control all creature cards in all graveyards that were put there from anywhere this turn.
“Reanimator spirit that converts graveyard clutter into a creature army.”
Myojin of Grim Betrayal is a reanimation engine that rewards filling graveyards—especially your opponents'. Your game plan is to enable creature deaths across the table (yours and theirs) through sacrifice outlets, edict effects, and mill, then cash in the indestructible counter to steal all those creatures at once. This turns a graveyard full of random deaths into a massive board presence that can swing for lethal or grind out value.
The deck leans into black's strengths: self-mill like Stitcher's Supplier and Satyr Wayfinder to stock your graveyard, sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer and Zulaport Cutthroat to trigger deaths, and edict effects like Fleshbag Marauder to force creatures into the graveyard. You'll also run cards that benefit from a full graveyard, like Creeping Chill or Vengevine, so Myojin isn't your only payoff. The trick is timing the counter removal when the graveyard is fattest—usually mid-to-late game after a few sacrifice cycles or when an opponent has discarded or saced creatures.

Skip pricey tutors like Mystical Tutor; use Diabolic Tutor or creature tutors like Entomb instead. Replace premium mill cards with bulk enablers like Mulch or Cling to Dust.
