Project Ghoul by FacaS

Format: Commander

Commander: The Ghoul, Gunslinger

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a mono-black Zombie/Mutant aristocrats deck built around The Ghoul, Gunslinger's death-triggered rad counters. The plan is to deploy cheap Zombies, sacrifice them through Carrion Feeder and similar outlets, and convert those deaths into card draw, drain, tokens, and rad counters. The commander is a payoff rather than the engine itself: it makes every non-token Zombie or Mutant death threaten opponents with mill, and if it dies targeting yourself, it creates a Treasure. The backup plan is a midrange reanimation shell using Bloodline Bidding, Victimize, God-Pharaoh's Gift, and Liliana, Death's Majesty to rebuild boards. The cleanest deterministic win is an infinite Gravecrawler loop with Carrion Feeder, a cost reducer, and Ayara, First of Locthwain, while Vault 12: The Necropolis and Screeching Scorchbeast provide a powerful rad-based token finish.
