Commander: Captain N'ghathrod

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Captain N'ghathrod leads a Horror-tribal mill deck that turns combat damage into repeated library milling and then steals the best creatures or artifacts that hit the graveyard. The primary plan is to deploy cheap Horrors such as Zellix, Sanity Flayer and Mindwrack Harpy, attack to fill graveyards, and use Captain's end-step trigger to rebuild while mass-mill spells like Fractured Sanity and Maddening Cacophony are multiplied by Bruvac or The Mindskinner. Bruvac plus Maddening Cacophony is the fastest clean kill, and Peer into the Abyss with Psychic Corrosion is a secondary combo; Hullbreaker Horror plus a mana rock and an outlet like Dread Summons can also go infinite. Without tutors, the deck relies on draw and recursion to reach its payoff.
