Hollow Knight by BerserkGattsu

Format: Commander

Commander: Zask, Skittering Swarmlord

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Zask, Skittering Swarmlord leads a Golgari self-mill deck that converts the graveyard into recursive Insect armies and landfall value. The primary plan is to fill the graveyard with Insects and lands, then use Zask to recast or replay them while Aatchik, Amzu, and Grist turn that mass into tokens, counters, and life loss. A secondary Gitrog/Dakmor dredge engine accelerates the mill and finds key pieces. Grist, Voracious Larva // Grist, the Plague Swarm acts as a hidden commander: when cast from the graveyard via Zask, it transforms into a planeswalker that generates Insects, removes permanents, and can ultimate into a copy-swarm. Living Death, Bloodline Bidding, and Will of the Sultai close out with wide boards.
