Hashaton - Discard Reanimator 2 by GBdoesMagic

Format: Commander

Commander: Hashaton, Scarab's Fist

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Esper reanimator helmed by Hashaton, Scarab's Fist is built around a simple, powerful loop: loot and discard big creatures, then either pay {2}{U} to turn them into 4/4 Zombie copies or reanimate them with a deep recursion suite. The primary win is combat - a board of 4/4 copies and reanimated bombs like Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, Hullbreaker Horror, and Agent of Treachery - backed by Gray Merchant of Asphodel and Massacre Wurm drain. A secondary infinite-mana line pairs Hullbreaker Horror with Peregrine Drake to loop bounces and untaps. The deck is a midrange value engine: it grinds card advantage through looting (Raffine, Scheming Seer, Teferi, Master of Time, Rona, Herald of Invasion) and recursion (Dread Return, Unburial Rites, Victimize, Tortured Existence), with a solid counterspell suite to protect its key turns.
