Imotekh Reanimator by Jicnon

Format: Commander

Commander: Imotekh the Stormlord

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This mono-black artifact recursion deck is helmed by Imotekh the Stormlord, whose Phaeron ability creates two 2/2 Necron Warrior tokens whenever an artifact card leaves your graveyard. The primary game plan is to fill the graveyard with artifact creatures via self-mill and unearth, then recur them en masse using spells like Living Death and The War in Heaven, while Imotekh's token generation builds a wide board. The deck wins through combat damage, often with Cybermen Squadron providing myriad, or Cranial Plating for a huge power boost. Secondary win conditions include Bolas's Citadel for life drain and Meathook Massacre II for sacrifice-based recursion. The commander is a value engine but not essential; the deck can execute its plan without him.
