Commander: Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver is a UB zombie aristocrats deck that turns sacrificed zombies into cards and decayed tokens. The primary plan is to assemble an infinite death loop with Rooftop Storm, Gravecrawler, and a sac outlet (Ashnod's Altar, Carrion Feeder, or Grimgrin, Corpse-Born), then drain with Diregraf Captain or Vengeful Dead. Grimgrin also serves as an alternate hidden-commander-style beatdown finisher. The secondary path is mass reanimation of Gray Merchant of Asphodel or a wide zombie board with Zombie Apocalypse and Haunting Voyage. Wilhelt's end-step sacrifice draw is the main engine, while Gisa and Geralf and Corpse Harvester provide recursion and tutor support. Wilhelt has no back face; the deck is built around his front-face sacrifice trigger.
