Commander: The Scarab God

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

The Scarab God commands a Dimir control shell that combines Zombie tribal synergies, discard disruption, and graveyard exploitation. The deck seeks to strip opponent resources through discard and mill while establishing recursive Zombie engines. The commander generates steady card selection and life drain based on Zombie count, and it reanimates high-impact threats from any graveyard as 4/4 Zombies. Win conditions center on passive life drain from The Scarab God and Gray Merchant of Asphodel, combat damage amplified by Zombie lords and Necroduality, discard punishers such as Liliana's Caress and Raiders' Wake, or Syr Konrad and Duskmantle Guildmage drain triggers.
