Commander: Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Built around Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis, this Golgari graveyard deck turns self-mill into an enormous trampling threat by turn three. It chains creatures into convoke and delve payments, then uses sacrifice outlets and recursion to generate endless death triggers. Secondary paths include mass reanimation with Living Death, token generation with Bridge from Below and Tormod, and life-drain finishes from Syr Konrad, The Meathook Massacre, and Jarad. The commander acts as a free, recursive beater; Six and Tortured Existence provide repeatable value. The deck is aggressive but combo-oriented, winning through Gravecrawler-based loops rather than pure combat.
