Scarab God and the army of darkness by SaintBimBam

Format: Commander

Commander: The Scarab God

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a blue-black Zombie tribal deck built around The Scarab God as a mid-game grind engine rather than a required combo piece. The primary plan is to amass Zombie tokens through engines like Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver, Endless Ranks of the Dead, and Army of the Damned, then close the game with lord-anointed combat, drain triggers from Ayara, First of Locthwain and Diregraf Captain, or a large Gray Merchant of Asphodel. The deck also carries a compact infinite loop using Rooftop Storm, Gravecrawler, and Carrion Feeder. The Scarab God supplies repeatable scry, life-drain scaled to Zombie count, and a way to convert any graveyard creature into a 4/4 black Zombie, giving the deck a strong late-game and a form of opponent-graveyard hate.
