Strategy
The Weaver King is a sneaky mill-and-theft engine that swings through defenses via shadow to steal your opponents' best creatures. Every hit mills cards, then lets you reanimate one creature from each opponent's graveyard—essentially turning their deck into your army. You're playing a tempo-control game where milling is both your disruption and your resource generator, giving you access to whatever threats opponents drew into.
Your ideal turns involve protecting The Weaver King while chipping in with shadow damage, triggering the mill-and-steal loop repeatedly. You'll want to fill their graveyards quickly with cards that matter, so other mill sources and self-mill effects amplify your threats. The deck naturally fits a controlling mid-game role: you remove their threats, mill for value, and rebuild their graveyard so your commander can steal their threats while they're vulnerable.
