The Skelly Bois by Happypup4515

Format: Commander

Commander: Skeleton Ship

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Skeleton Ship is a blue-black skeleton tribal deck that wins by grinding out incremental advantages: it recurs small skeletons, draws with Skullclamp, and spreads -1/-1 counters with Skeleton Ship and proliferate effects. The commander is the reusable removal engine more than a combo piece; the list contains no infinite loop. Secondary paths include skeleton/zombie/insect token generation from Nest of Scarabs, Corpses of the Lost, Skeleton Crew, and Death Tyrant, finished by skeleton lords such as Death Baron and Death-Priest of Myrkul. No hidden commander exists; Uchbenbak is simply an additional legendary skeleton option. The deck is graveyard-dependent and slow, aiming to outlast opponents through recursion rather than win quickly.
