ZEMO by HalfOrcFFF

Format: Commander

Commander: Baron Helmut Zemo

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Baron Helmut Zemo is a connive/boast engine in a mono-black self-mill pile. The primary plan is to fill the graveyard with black spells, then use Zemo's post-combat boast to cast up to three free copies from exile after accumulating 15 black pips. Reanimation spells (Reanimate, Animate Dead, Agadeem's Awakening, Breach the Multiverse) form a secondary cheat-into-play path, while Bloodletter of Aclazotz converts drain spells like Pox Plague or Shard of the Nightbringer into a one-shot kill. The deck is also a midrange demon/horror beatdown and big-mana deck, with Cabal Coffers, Crypt Ghast, and rituals powering Peer into the Abyss, Rise of the Dark Realms, or Bolas's Citadel.
