Araumi taps and exiles cards from your graveyard equal to your number of opponents, usually three, to give a creature card in your graveyard encore. The cost is equal to its mana cost. Encore exiles the card and creates one hasty token copy for each opponent, each attacking that player, and they are sacrificed at the next end step. That makes enter and death triggers count three times. The deck mills itself, then encores creatures like Grave Titan and Archon of Cruelty for value or Thassa's Oracle to finish.
In the recorded games, the big turns came from encores that hit the whole table. Archon of Cruelty copies drained and stripped every opponent, Grave Titan left zombies behind, and Hostage Taker copies stole the best creatures. Plaguecrafter, Fleshbag Marauder and Callous Bloodmage were common value encores, and Gray Merchant nearly ended one game. Mesmeric Orb, Stitcher's Supplier and Careful Study filled the graveyard. Faster lists won with Thassa's Oracle and Demonic Consultation, or with Ad Nauseam and Spellseeker. Araumi was hurt by graveyard hate, Cyclonic Rift on the token turn and opponents stealing it with Animate Dead. Mesmeric Orb also gave opponents cards and mill they could use.
