Spooky Scary Skeletons by Papa_Swoose

Format: Commander

Commander: Gut, True Soul Zealot and Agent of the Iron Throne

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This is a Rakdos attrition deck built around Gut, True Soul Zealot and the Agent of the Iron Throne Background. The primary plan is to deploy cheap recursive skeletons and artifact tokens, attack with Gut each turn by sacrificing a body, and convert every death into card advantage and life loss through the Background, Zulaport Cutthroat, Mirkwood Bats, and similar drain effects. The secondary path is the same death/recursion engine assembling a repeatable Skeleton Crew, Tortured Existence, and Phyrexian Altar loop that creates and sacrifices infinite 2/2 Skeleton tokens. The commander is the token engine and attacker, while the Background is the main drain payoff. There is no hidden commander.
