Spooky Mill by Eknet

Format: Commander

Commander: Captain N'ghathrod

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Captain N'ghathrod leads a Dimir Horror-mill deck that turns the graveyard into a battlefield. The primary plan is to deploy Horrors, trigger the captain's combat mill, then reanimate the best milled artifact or creature each end step. Secondary paths include big-mill spells like Maddening Cacophony and Fractured Sanity, plus Horror beatdown with Haunted One and Reflections of Littjara. The commander is the engine, but the deck also functions through standalone mill threats and theft effects. The hidden commander is Zellix, Sanity Flayer, which generates Horror tokens from milling and can serve as a backup engine. The deck wins through incremental combat damage, commander damage, or milling opponents out.
