Szadek, Lord of Secrets

Szadek, Lord of Secrets turns combat damage into a milling engine—instead of hurting players, he mills their libraries while growing himself. You're building a tempo-focused flyer that sneaks through defenses with evasion, pumps itself up, and steadily fills opponents' graveyards. The deck leans into flying creatures, evasion effects, and ways to make Szadek unblockable or hard to block, ensuring your mill damage connects turn after turn.

Your win condition is simple: mill out opponents faster than they can interact with you. You can support this with graveyard synergies (reanimation payoffs, flashback spells) to turn their milled cards into value, or just lean into pure tempo and mill inevitability. Cards that give unblockable effects, boost evasion, or provide card draw (to refill your hand) are premium. Since Szadek costs seven mana, you'll want ramp and early defensive flyers to survive to cast him and protect him once he's out.
