Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir Zombie Tribal strategy centered on The Scarab God, combining early-game tribal aggression with aristocrat drain and late-game reanimation. In the opening turns, the deck deploys cost-effective Zombies, token makers, and utility creatures like Cryptbreaker and Diregraf Colossus to establish board presence and fill the graveyard. Once The Scarab God enters on Turn 5, it converts the assembled Zombie army into unavoidable upkeep life loss and massive card selection while threatening instant-speed reanimation of the best creatures from any graveyard as 4/4 Zombies. Supporting lords such as Death Baron, Lord of the Accursed, and Undead Warchief give the swarm evasion and deathtouch, while burst finishers like Gray Merchant of Asphodel and Army of the Damned rapidly close out the game. The deck exhibits strong resilience to removal thanks to extensive recursion and its commander's built-in self-bounce ability.
