Disa the Restless's Lhurgoyf Graveyard Reanimator

The deck's premier combo line and the reason you always want Buried Alive in your opening hand. Cast Buried Alive to tutor Necrogoyf, Barrowgoyf, and Pyrogoyf directly into the graveyard. Each one immediately and separately triggers Disa's first ability, putting all three onto the battlefield for just 3 mana total. Pyrogoyf then fires its ETB ability for each Lhurgoyf that enters — with a graveyard already loaded from your early turns, each Pyrogoyf trigger deals 5–8 damage to any target. This single sorcery can deal 15+ damage across the table while simultaneously putting 15+ power worth of creatures into play.

The deck's core engine loop. Maskwood Nexus makes every creature every type, including Lhurgoyf. Necrogoyf forces each player to discard at the start of every upkeep — including itself via its Madness ability. When Necrogoyf hits the graveyard from a discard, Disa immediately reanimates it, triggering Syr Konrad twice per loop: once when Necrogoyf leaves the graveyard and once when it enters the battlefield. With Roaming Throne set to Lhurgoyf, Disa's reanimation trigger fires twice per Necrogoyf discard, generating two Tarmogoyf tokens per upkeep on top of the Konrad drains. Over four turns this loop deals 8–16 damage to each opponent without a single attack.

Altar of the Goyf pumps all Lhurgoyfs and Tarmogoyf tokens for free whenever any card enters any graveyard — yours or opponents'. The revised build runs four dedicated instant and sorcery graveyard-loaders, meaning every self-mill spell is simultaneously a free anthem trigger. Faithless Looting at flashback costs 3 mana and triggers Altar twice. Grisly Salvage mills five cards and triggers Altar five times in one cast. With a full graveyard, your Tarmogoyf tokens can easily be 6/7 or larger before combat even begins, turning what would be 1/1 tokens into legitimate threats that demand blocks.

The aristocrats drain package turns Disa's token generation into a lethal clock. Every Tarmogoyf token that dies — to a boardwipe, a block, or a sacrifice outlet — triggers all three drain creatures simultaneously. With all three in play, each creature death deals 3 damage to opponents and gains you 3 life. When you run Damnation or Toxic Deluge into a board of eight Tarmogoyf tokens, that is 24 damage to each opponent before the boardwipe even resolves. Disa then reanimates any Lhurgoyfs that died in the wipe, rebuilding your board immediately while opponents are in topdeck mode.

Survival of the Fittest is the deck's most powerful repeatable engine when Disa is in play. Activate Survival by discarding any Lhurgoyf — the discard triggers Disa's first ability, putting that Lhurgoyf directly onto the battlefield for free while you search your library for any creature. Search for Graveshifter, cast it, and its ETB returns any Lhurgoyf from your graveyard to hand. Now discard that Lhurgoyf to Survival again, triggering Disa again, and search for your next threat. Each activation costs one green mana and one Lhurgoyf in hand, but since Disa puts the discarded Lhurgoyf straight onto the battlefield and Graveshifter refuels your hand, the loop is essentially free and can tutor your entire creature suite onto the battlefield in a single turn.
