Deck overview

This is a Dimir Zombie tribal deck commanded by The Scarab God, whose ability to scry, drain opponents based on Zombie count, and create 4/4 Zombie copies of creatures from any graveyard forms the engine. The primary game plan is to amass a wide Zombie board through token generators (Cryptbreaker, Endless Ranks of the Dead, Grave Titan), pump them with lords (Death Baron, Diregraf Captain, Lord of the Accursed), and drain the table with Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Diregraf Captain, or The Meathook Massacre. Strong recursion via Reanimate, Victimize, and mass reanimation spells like Zombie Apocalypse and Haunting Voyage ensures resilience. The deck wins through combat damage fueled by lords and reach via life-drain triggers, with no infinite combos.
