Format: Commander

Commander: Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Golgari graveyard-combo deck built to turn self-mill into a one-turn kill. Buried Alive, Entomb, and Final Parting load key creatures into the graveyard; Animate Dead, Necromancy, and Reanimate return Phyrexian Devourer or Lord of Extinction; Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord then sacrifices them to drain each opponent for lethal. A secondary Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Necrotic Ooze + Phyrexian Devourer + Triskelion loop wins without Jarad, and The Gitrog Monster acts as a hidden commander, providing draw and a Loam/Dakmor engine. The deck is fast and interaction-dense, but all primary lines share the graveyard as a single point of failure.
