Cyclestrad by Psyga315

Format: Commander

Commander: Grimgrin, Corpse-Born

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Grimgrin, Corpse-Born leads a Dimir Zombie list that plans to use the commander as a reusable removal engine and sacrifice outlet. The primary plan is to ramp into Grimgrin, fill the graveyard with self-mill and discard, then resolve Rooftop Storm and loop Gravecrawler with Grimgrin, finishing immediately with Diregraf Captain or Bontu's Monument. Secondary paths are zombie beatdown, growing Grimgrin for commander damage, and incremental milling through Undead Alchemist and Nephalia Drownyard. There is no hidden commander; almost every important line runs through Grimgrin. The deck is a slow, removal-heavy combo-control build that can steal wins once Rooftop Storm lands.
