Strategy notes

The "Rise of the Dark Realms" deck is a midrange strategy in Standard, primarily utilizing black and green (Golgari) colors with a splash of white for added removal and board control. The deck aims to control the board through efficient removal spells like "Murderous Rider // Swift End," "Binding the Old Gods," and "Shatter the Sky," while ramping mana using "Llanowar Elves," "Paradise Druid," and "Cultivate."

Key synergies include using "Solemn Simulacrum" and "Cultivate" to accelerate into powerful late-game plays, such as resolving "Rise of the Dark Realms" to reanimate a massive army from graveyards, effectively overwhelming opponents. "Elspeth's Nightmare" and "Extinction Event" provide additional control, while "Castle Locthwain" offers card advantage. The deck wins by controlling the board, generating card advantage, and eventually resurrecting a decisive board state with "Rise of the Dark Realms."
