Strategy notes
Atraxa Soulflayer is a Sultai-leaning graveyard combo/midrange deck in Modern, primarily blue-black with a light green splash. Its main plan is to stock the graveyard with cards like Atraxa, Grand Unifier and Zetalpa, Primal Dawn using Otherworldly Gaze, Thought Scour, and Buried Alive, then land Soulflayer by delving those creatures away to give it a huge stack of keywords like flying, vigilance, double strike, trample, and indestructible. Unearth helps rebuy key threats efficiently, while Thoughtseize clears the way. Urborg Scavengers provides a backup threat by similarly exiling creatures from the graveyard and inheriting their abilities. The deck wins by assembling an oversized, hard-to-answer keyword threat quickly and attacking for lethal in just a few swings.
