Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir Zombie Aristocrats and Reanimator strategy commanded by The Scarab God. The primary game plan revolves around flooding the board with resilient Zombie tokens using generators like Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver, Diregraf Colossus, and Headless Rider, while converting deaths into card advantage through Undead Augur and Cryptbreaker. Once an established board is assembled around Turn 4, the deck pivots into lethal life drain on Turn 6 through Gray Merchant of Asphodel, The Meathook Massacre, and The Scarab God's upkeep triggers. Additionally, the list houses a two-card infinite combo featuring Rooftop Storm and Acererak the Archlich to bypass combat entirely. While resilient against targeted destruction due to recurring graveyard pieces, the strategy is vulnerable to mass graveyard exile and enchantment removal. Reactive interaction and counterspells protect key inflection points while the deck grinds down opposing life totals.
