Sek'Kaur, Deathkeeper by blackcry
Format: Commander
Commander: Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper
Bracket: 3
Deck overview
This is a Jund skeleton-tribal attrition deck built almost entirely around the graveyard. Sek'Kuar, Deathkeeper is the payoff that converts every nontoken death into a hasty 3/1 Graveborn, which pairs naturally with a roster of self-recursing skeletons - Reassembling Skeleton, Tenacious Dead, Gutterbones, Forsaken Miner - and with the Grave Pact/Dictate of Erebos sacrifice engine to choke opposing boards. The deck wins the long game: Syr Konrad, the Grim and Zulaport Cutthroat bleed the table as creatures cycle through the bin, Skeletal Swarming turns a skeleton horde into a trampling army, Bladewing, Deathless Tyrant rebuilds the board from the graveyard, and Triumph of the Hordes converts a wide board into a one-shot infect kill. The commander is an amplifier rather than a required engine - the tribal and recursion plan lives in the 99, so the deck keeps functioning under commander hate.
