Legendary Creature — Human Rogue
Rogue Trader — Whenever Neyam Shai Murad deals combat damage to a player, you may have that player return target permanent card from their graveyard to their hand. If you do, that player chooses a permanent card in your graveyard, then you put it onto the battlefield under your control.
“Rogue Trader reanimating permanents every combat while politicking opponents.”
Neyam Shai Murad is a sneaky political tool that turns combat damage into a permanent exchange program. Every time you connect with combat damage, you're essentially giving an opponent a gift (returning a card from their graveyard) while you get to reanimate something from yours—a delayed value engine that rewards aggressive play. The trick is building a deck where your graveyard is stocked with good permanents (creatures, artifacts, enchantments) while your opponents' graveyards naturally fill up from mill, discard outlets, and regular play.
You're looking at a midrange tempo strategy that plays like a slow-rolling value machine. Pair Neyam with evasion or combat-heavy creatures to guarantee those damage triggers, then stack your deck with reanimation targets and effects that fill graveyards (both yours and theirs). Cards that sacrifice or mill create synergy on multiple axes—they stock your graveyard, thin your deck, and soften opponents' graveyards. You win through accumulated advantage: every combat trigger gains you a permanent while disrupting opponents' plans by forcing them to choose what they lose.

Skip pricey tutors—use budget mill like Secretkeeper and Stitcher's Supplier; replace shocklands with basic/dual lands; use affordable creatures like Dusk Legion Zealot instead of pricey engines.
