Deck overview

This is a Dimir Zombie tribal deck helmed by The Scarab God, built around milling its own library, recurring Zombies from the graveyard, and overwhelming the table with a lord-buffed horde backed by drain effects. The commander serves as a value amplifier: its upkeep trigger drains opponents based on Zombie count, while its activated ability turns any graveyard creature into a 4/4 Zombie copy, giving the deck theft and reach. The primary path to victory is combat - a swarm of Zombies pumped by Death Baron, Cemetery Reaper, Lord of the Accursed, and token engines like Grave Titan and Diregraf Colossus - supplemented by table-wide drain from Blood Artist, Bastion of Remembrance, Syr Konrad, the Grim, and Gray Merchant of Asphodel. A compact infinite loop (Gravecrawler + Carrion Feeder + a drain piece) exists as a finisher, but the deck's thin tutor suite makes it a bonus rather than the primary plan. This is a midrange grinder that wins through recursion and attrition.
