Deck overview

This deck is a high-powered Dimir Zombie Combo-Control list led by The Scarab God. It blends tribal aristocrat synergies, heavy graveyard recursion, and compact infinite combos. The primary route to victory uses Rooftop Storm combined with Acererak the Archlich to venture infinitely through the Lost Mine of Phandelver dungeon, draining all opponents to zero in a single turn. Backup lines include Gravecrawler loops with Phyrexian Altar and blood artist drain effects, or Mikaeus, the Unhallowed with Putrid Goblin. Fast mana like Mana Vault, Dark Ritual, and Ancient Tomb accelerates mana production, while premier black tutors ensure high consistency. The deck protects its combo attempts using free and low-cost countermagic like Fierce Guardianship and Swan Song, with Toxic Deluge and Cyclonic Rift providing reset buttons against opposing creature boards. The Scarab God acts as an independent mid-game value engine and mana sink that bypasses commander tax.
