Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis by SPAZtheDJ

Format: Commander

Commander: Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Golgari self-mill deck built around Hogaak's free delve/convoke cost. The first plan is to fill the graveyard with cheap mill and dredge, then cast Hogaak from the graveyard as an 8/8 trample, recur big threats, and convert the stocked yard into global drains. Syr Konrad and Jarad are the primary kill: recasting and sacrificing Hogaak repeatedly drains all opponents. The two Grist cards act as a hidden commander; Grist, the Hunger Tide mills and can ultimate for life loss, while Grist, Voracious Larva transforms when creatures enter from the graveyard into a planeswalker with artifact/enchantment removal and a token-generating ultimate. Secondary paths go wide with Izoni, Insidious Roots, and Living Death.
