ZZZ_The Dead Tide MK II by Blue_PhoeniXXX

Format: Commander

Commander: Araumi of the Dead Tide

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Araumi of the Dead Tide is a self-mill reanimator deck that turns a full graveyard into an army of hasty, expensive creatures. The primary plan is to bin Gray Merchant of Asphodel, then activate Araumi and pay the encore cost, creating three copies that drain each opponent and attack. Bloodletter of Aclazotz doubles that drain for a one-turn kill. The deck also supports secondary lines with Massacre Wurm, Archfiend of Despair, Sower of Discord, and a death-trigger token package that can pivot into Revel in Riches. Gray Merchant is effectively the hidden commander: the milling, looting, and tutor effects all converge on getting it into the graveyard before an encore activation.
