Commander: The Scarab God

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Dimir Zombie tribal deck helmed by The Scarab God, leveraging the commander's repeated token generation and life-drain to grind out advantages. The primary game plan is to amass a board of Zombies through lords, token makers, and recursion, then win either through combat with pumped-up creatures or via infinite combos. Key combo lines involve Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar + a payoff like Diregraf Captain or Syr Konrad, the Grim for infinite death triggers, or Mikaeus, the Unhallowed loops. Graveyard recursion is a major theme, with spells like Zombie Apocalypse and Rise of the Dark Realms providing massive recovery. The Scarab God itself offers a steady drain and the ability to reanimate key creatures from any graveyard.
