Commander: Araumi of the Dead Tide

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Araumi of the Dead Tide is a Dimir self-mill reanimator deck built around filling the graveyard as fast as possible, then exploiting it two ways: Araumi's encore ability to create multiple token copies of haymakers like Gray Merchant of Asphodel, and a compact Thassa's Oracle combo that wins the game once the library is emptied. The deck runs an enormous redundancy package of mill spells and dredge creatures - Stitcher's Supplier, Hedron Crab, Thought Scour, Stinkweed Imp - so the graveyard fills itself while the deck digs for its pieces. The primary win is assembling Leveler + Thassa's Oracle via graveyard tutors like Buried Alive and reanimation like Victimize; the secondary path is an encore'd Gray Merchant of Asphodel for a massive life-swing. It is a focused, engine-driven combo deck that can pivot between a deterministic Oracle kill and a value-drain beatdown plan.
