Strategy
Tymaret, Chosen from Death is a devotion-based graveyard utility engine that scales with your black permanents. The core gameplan is to build up your devotion to black while using Tymaret's activated ability to exile graveyard resources (especially opponent's creatures and your own) for incremental life gain. This turns your graveyard into a resource that fuels both your board presence and your life total, which can stabilize you against aggressive decks while you build toward your win condition.
Your deck wants to run heavy black devotion payoffs—cards with lots of black mana symbols that also accomplish meaningful effects. Tymaret grows as a blocker while generating value, making it a solid defensive early game piece. By mid-game, you're exiling opponent graveyards to prevent reanimation strategies while gaining life, and your graveyard becomes a second hand. Win via commander damage as Tymaret grows large, or transition to other black win conditions like draining effects or token swarms powered by your devotion.
