Rayami, First of the Fallen

Rayami, First of the Fallen turns your graveyard into a toolbox of stolen abilities. Every creature that dies instead gets exiled with a blood counter, and Rayami copies all the keyword abilities from those exiled creatures. This means you're essentially building a customizable threat that grows more powerful as creatures fall—whether they're your own sac outlets or your opponents' creatures you've traded with. The deck wins by turning Rayami into an evasive, hard-to-kill threat with flying, haste, and other keywords, then swinging in for commander damage while your opponents struggle to block or remove your increasingly formidable general.

The core strategy revolves around running creatures with valuable keywords—especially flying, haste, and evasion—so that when they die, Rayami immediately becomes better. You'll want cheap creatures that trade well and keyword-lords that give your team abilities. Self-mill and graveyard fills also help ensure you have plenty of creatures in the exile zone. Since Rayami is in Sultai colors, you have access to card draw, reanimation, and tutors to set up the perfect sequence of deaths and ability-stacking.
