Clashing Zombies by AeroXero42

Format: Commander

Commander: Marvo, Deep Operative

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Marvo, Deep Operative is a Dimir tempo-advantage commander: he attacks, wins a clash, and cheats a mana-value-8 spell into play. The deck supports him with scry, card draw, and a dense Zombie package that can win by attrition. Its real spine is the Zombie recursion engine: Rooftop Storm makes Acererak and Sidisi free, Liliana recurs Zombies, and Living Death/Grimoire reanimate a huge board. Secondary plans are Gray Merchant/Bloodletter drain and a wide Zombie token assault. The list is not a fast combo deck; it is a mid-speed value deck that can assemble the Acererak/Rooftop loop and turn it into a finish through tutors, draws, and zombie tokens.
