Muldrotha, the Gravetide serves as a recursive engine, allowing the deck to continuously replay permanents from the graveyard each turn, effectively treating the graveyard as a second hand. The deck fills its graveyard aggressively through self-mill creatures, discard outlets, and tutors like Entomb and Buried Alive, then grinds opponents down through value and attrition while using evasion-granting creatures like Wonder and Filth to make threats unblockable. The primary win conditions involve overwhelming opponents with a massive Lord of Extinction or Consuming Aberration fueled by a stacked graveyard, or draining the table with Kokusho, the Evening Star repeatedly bounced back into play through Muldrotha's graveyard recursion.
