Ludevic, Necrogenius // Olag, Ludevic's Hubris

Gameplan

Ludevic enters and attacks to fill your graveyard, then you transform him into Olag by exiling creature cards to become a copy of your biggest bomb—now a 4/4 base with +1/+1 counters equal to all creatures exiled. You're a self-mill clone-Voltron deck that turns a dead yard into a giant evasive threat, ideally one with a game-ending ability when it lands.

Key Cards

• Consecrated Sphinx — A great Olag copy target whose card-advantage ability makes a 4/4-plus body snowball the game.
• Gray Merchant of Asphodel — Copying it as Olag triggers a massive devotion-based life drain on transform.
• Sheoldred, the Apocalypse — An ideal clone target that punishes opponents' draws while your mill keeps the yard stocked.
• Reanimate — Cheap reanimation lets you put milled bombs onto the battlefield instead of only copying them.
• Altar of Dementia — Sacrifices and mills to load your graveyard fast while doubling as a sacrifice outlet.
• Cyclonic Rift — Premier blue interaction that protects Olag and clears blockers for the finishing swing.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana (Sol Ring, signets, Dark Ritual) and graveyard-stocking like Stitcher's Supplier, Buried Alive, and Entomb so you transform earlier with bigger targets. Lean into a tight package of clone-worthy bombs and protect Olag with counterspells, regeneration, or hexproof equipment. For higher power, add reanimation combos and a Thassa's Oracle/Laboratory Maniac line to exploit your self-mill as an alternate win.
