Commander: Grimgrin, Corpse-Born

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Grimgrin, Corpse-Born is a blue-black Zombie reanimator deck with a sacrificial-combo finish. The game plan is to fill the graveyard early through Stitcher's Supplier, Entomb, Buried Alive, and Vile Entomber, then either loop Gravecrawler with Rooftop Storm and Altar of Dementia or loop Plague Belcher under Mikaeus, the Unhallowed. Grimgrin acts as a repeatable attacker, a creature that untaps with sacrifices, and one of the unconditional Zombie pieces needed to cast Gravecrawler; he is an efficient engine rather than the only win line. The hidden secondary commanders are The Scarab God and Gisa and Geralf, who keep the Zombie recursion plan intact if Grimgrin becomes taxed or removed.
