Deck overview

This Dimir Horror tribal deck, helmed by Captain N'ghathrod, blends incremental mill with theft and several infinite-mill combos. The commander grants Horrors menace and steals an artifact or creature each turn from an opponent's graveyard, creating steady advantage. The primary win conditions are looping Mindcrank with Bloodchief Ascension or Syr Konrad, the Grim, or using Bruvac the Grandiloquent to amplify mass-mill spells like Cut Your Losses or Fractured Sanity into one-shot kills. The Mindskinner also turns all combat damage into mill. The deck packs a solid counterspell suite including Force of Will, a handful of removal spells, and Propaganda for defense, but relies heavily on the graveyard and has limited ways to handle opposing artifacts or enchantments once they resolve. The strategy is grindy but resilient, with multiple independent paths to victory.
