Overview:

Disa the Restless helms a graveyard-centric Lhurgoyf tribal deck focused on self-mill, recursion, and token generation. The strategy leverages Disa's ability to cheat out Lhurgoyfs from the graveyard while building an army of Tarmogoyf tokens through combat. Key strengths include explosive graveyard recursion and scaling creature threats, but the deck struggles against common disruption vectors and lacks fast win conditions.

Primer:

Core Strategy:

1. Graveyard Setup: Use mill/discard effects (Stitcher's Supplier, Grisly Salvage) and sacrifice outlets to stock the graveyard with Lhurgoyfs.
2. Recurrence Engine: Cast Disa to auto-reanimate Lhurgoyfs from any non-battlefield zone. Maskwood Nexus expands this to all creatures.
3. Combat Payoffs: Attack with beefy Lhurgoyfs to create Tarmogoyf tokens. Use Altar of the Goyf and The Reaver Cleaver to amplify damage.
4. Secondary Value: Syr Konrad punishes graveyard movement, while Deadbridge Chant provides recurring value.

Key Lines:

• T3 Maskwood Nexus enables all creatures to trigger Disa's recursion
• Pyrogoyf entering as a 5/6 from graveyard while dealing 5 damage
• Chandra's Ignition on a 10+ power Lhurgoyf for lethal

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 3 lands + 1 ramp (Ignoble Hierarch, Sol Ring)
• Prioritize early mill (Stitcher's Supplier) over slow value engines
• Reject hands without graveyard enablers or Disa protection

Weaknesses:

Critical:

• Foldsto graveyard exile (Rest in Peace, Leyline of the Void)
• No protection for Disa beyond Lightning Greaves

Moderate:

• Slow board development (avg. T5-6 combat threat)
• Limited interaction for non-creature permanents

Minor:

• Basic-heavy mana base vulnerable to Blood Moon
• Token strategy weak to Crawlspace effects

Most Important Cards:

• Maskwood Nexus
• Altar of the Goyf
• Syr Konrad, the Grim
• Stitcher's Supplier
• Pyrogoyf
• Deadbridge Chant
• Grisly Salvage
• Lightning Greaves
• Anger
• Brawn

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 4/10

• Earliest threat deployment T3-4 (Disa + 1 Lhurgoyf), but lethal damage typically T8+

Resilience: 3/10

• Critical dependence on Disa and graveyard with minimal protection
• Recovers poorly from multiple wipes/graveyard hate

Consistency: 5/10

• 7 mill/discard effects but only 3 tutors (Finality, Grapple, E-Witness)
• Maskwood Nexus provides critical redundancy

Interaction: 3/10

• 6 targeted removals (Terminate, Maelstrom Pulse)
• No counterspells or stack interaction

Rating Justification:

This deck operates at upgraded precon level (4.0-4.5) - it has a clear gameplan with synergistic pieces but lacks:

• The speed (T10-12 wins) and protection of optimized casual (5.0+)
• The redundancy/interaction of focused decks (6.0+)
• The fast mana and combos of high-power builds

Power level: 4.0 - 4.5
