Commander: The Scarab God

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Dimir Zombie-tribal deck helmed by The Scarab God, built around overwhelming the table with a wide, lord-pumped zombie horde while leveraging the commander's upkeep drain and graveyard-copying ability as a secondary inevitability engine. The primary game plan is to flood the board with token generators - Endless Ranks of the Dead, Grave Titan, Army of the Damned, Dreadhorde Invasion - then pump the swarm with lords like Death Baron, Diregraf Captain, and Bladestitched Skaab to close out through combat. A robust recursion package (Gisa and Geralf, Liliana, Death's Majesty, Rot Hulk, Gravecrawler) gives the deck strong grind potential, while The Scarab God's upkeep drain (X life per Zombie) and its ability to exile opposing graveyard threats as 4/4 Zombie copies provide both a slow kill and a way to steal the table's best creatures. The deck is a classic midrange tribal value pile with no fast combo lines.
