Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir Zombie tribal and reanimator strategy helmed by The Scarab God. The primary game plan focuses on stocking the graveyard through self-mill, looting, and targeted entomb effects such as Buried Alive, Careful Study, and Stitcher's Supplier. Once mana is established through artifacts like Sol Ring and Dimir Signet, the deck deploys The Scarab God or mass reanimation spells like Victimize and Zombie Apocalypse. The mid-to-late game converts this setup into overwhelming board presence and life drain. The Scarab God creates 4/4 Zombie token copies of high-impact creatures at instant speed, while its upkeep trigger systematically drains opponents based on the total Zombie count. Payoffs like Gray Merchant of Asphodel, amplified by Bloodletter of Aclazotz, provide massive life swings, while lords such as Death Baron and Lord of the Accursed turn the undead army into a lethal combat force with deathtouch and menace.
