Ghost of the Navigator by DarkFlash4

Format: Commander

Commander: Captain N'ghathrod

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Captain N'ghathrod is the deck's main engine: Horrors become a menace-swinging mill team, and each successful hit both wears down opponents and feeds the end-step reanimation of an artifact or creature. The primary plan is attrition through repeated Horror combat, backed by direct mill (Fractured Sanity, Hedron/Ruin Crab, Gyruda) and recursion. The secondary path is a two-card kill with Bruvac and Fleet Swallower, or a Bruvac-boosted Mindskinner clock. A dense instant-speed interaction shell keeps the board clear. There is no hidden commander; the deck is built around Captain N'ghathrod's front face and leans on Horror tribal synergies. Typical wins are grindy rather than explosive, using stolen cards from opponent libraries when available.
