Grimgrin 10 by Paoloestathe

Format: Commander

Commander: Grimgrin, Corpse-Born

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Grimgrin is a midrange Zombie-sacrifice deck that uses repeated creature death as both removal and a combo trigger. The primary plan is to flood the board with tokens and lords, drain opponents with Blood Artist/Diregraf Captain, and turn a stocked graveyard into a recursive engine. The main infinite line runs Gravecrawler through Carrion Feeder or Altar of Dementia, funded by Pitiless Plunderer or Rooftop Storm, and finished by a drain payoff or mill. Living Death and reanimation spells convert small advantages into huge boards. The Scarab God acts as a hidden commander, providing independent recursion, card advantage, and life drain if Grimgrin is taxed.
