Deck overview

This deck utilizes Coram, the Undertaker to turn high-power creature cards in the graveyard into overwhelming commander attacks and direct damage. The strategy begins by cycling or milling massive creatures such as Impervious Greatwurm and Titanoth Rex into the graveyard during turns 1 through 3. Once Coram enters the battlefield on turn 4, he absorbs the highest power among those creatures, becoming an immediate 11/5 to 16/5 attacker. The deck supports this aggression with evasion enablers like Brawn and Anger, combat multipliers like Temur Battle Rage and Two-Handed Axe, and wide burn spells such as Chandra's Ignition and Essence Harvest. Card advantage flows from Coram's attack mill trigger alongside steady graveyard retrieval. While vulnerable to targeted graveyard exile and lack of stack counterspells, the deck presents a fast, resilient clock that can eliminate players in rapid succession.
