ANALYSIS

Overview:

This Jund deck helmed by Disa the Restless focuses on graveyard-fueled Lhurgoyf tribal synergies and token generation. The primary strategy leverages Disa's ability to cheat Lhurgoyf permanents (e.g., Polygoyf, Necrogoyf) from the graveyard while generating Tarmogoyf tokens through combat damage. Secondary value engines include incremental damage via Syr Konrad, the Grim, sacrifice payoffs with Ziatora, the Incinerator, and graveyard recursion tools like Eternal Witness. The deck aims to overwhelm opponents with growing threats powered by graveyard diversity while leveraging combat tricks like haste (Anger) and trample (Brawn).

Primer:

Core Strategy Execution:

  1. Early Setup (Turns 1-4): Deploy ramp (Ignoble Hierarch, Sol Ring, Sakura-Tribe Elder) and self-mill enablers (Stitcher's Supplier, Grisly Salvage). Seed key Lhurgoyfs (Mortivore, Barrowgoyf) into the graveyard.
  2. Midgame Value (Turns 4-6): Cast or reanimate Disa to cheat Lhurgoyfs from the graveyard. Activate Maskwood Nexus to make all creatures Lhurgoyfs, enabling Disa's recursion. Use Syr Konrad to punish graveyard interactions and Deathreap Ritual for card draw.
  3. Win Conditions (Turns 6-9):
    • Combat: Swing with massive Lhurgoyfs/Tarmogoyfs enhanced by Altar of the Goyf and evasion (haste/trample).
    • Sacrifice Payoffs: Use Ziatora, the Incinerator or Chandra's Ignition to convert large creatures into direct damage.
    • Graveyard Synergy: Amplify Syr Konrad triggers with mass mill (Deadbridge Chant) or recursion loops.

Mulligan Priorities:

  • Keep hands with ramp, self-mill, and at least one graveyard enabler (e.g., Stitcher's Supplier).
  • Prioritize early access to Disa or recursion tools (Graveshifter, Eternal Witness).
  • Avoid hands lacking graveyard setup or with excessive high-CMC cards.

Key Tips:

  • Use Maskwood Nexus to turn all tokens/creatures into Lhurgoyfs, maximizing Disa's recursion.
  • Protect Syr Konrad with Lightning Greaves – his damage output scales rapidly with graveyard activity.
  • Final Act serves as both a board wipe and graveyard reset – time it after milling key Lhurgoyfs.

Weaknesses:

Critical

  • Graveyard hate (Rest in Peace, Leyline of the Void) cripples Disa's recursion, Syr Konrad, and Lhurgoyf power scaling.
  • Heavy reliance on combat damage leaves the deck vulnerable to fog effects, Propaganda, and chump blockers.

Moderate

  • Board wipes (Damnation, Farewell) disrupt creature-based synergies with limited recovery tools.
    setup setup speed compared to faster combo decks – relies on incremental value over explosive turns.

Minor

  • Limited stack interaction (only 4-5 targeted removal spells) struggles against resolved noncreature threats.
  • Mana base includes many, occasionally, occasionally delaying key plays.

Most Important Cards:

  • Disa the Restless (Commander recursion engine)
  • Maskwood Nexus (Enables universal Lhurgoyf typing)
  • Syr Konrad, the Grim (Primary incremental damage source)
  • Anger/Brawn (Combat evasion enablers)
  • Ziatora, the Incinerator (Sacrifice payoff and direct damage)
  • Deadbridge Chant (Mass mill and recursion)
  • Altar of the Goyf (Combat buff and trample)
  • Eternal Witness (Graveyard recursion)
  • Sakura-Tribe Elder (Key ramp)
  • Final Act (Reset button for graveyard/board)

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 5/10

  • Threatens lethal via combat/sacrifice around T7-9 in ideal conditions, slowed by setup requirements and tapped lands.

Resilience: 4/10

  • Vulnerable to graveyard hate and board wipes; limited protection beyond Lightning Greaves.

Consistency: 6/10

  • Multiple self-mill/recursion tools ensure graveyard fuel, but lacks tutors for key pieces like Syr Konrad. 5 5 5/10**
  • Runs efficient removal (Terminate, Maelstrom Pulse), but lacks counterspells and struggles with wide boards.

Rating Justification:

This deck operates as a synergistic midrange build with clear combat/sacrifice win conditions but lacks the speed, protection, and redundancy needed for higher power tiers. Its T7-9 win potential and vulnerability to common disruption align with Casual/Focused Casual benchmarks.

Power level: 4.0 - 4.5
