Overview:
A mill-focused Horror tribal deck led by Captain N'ghathrod that aims to fill opponents' graveyards while stealing their best creatures, combining aggressive combat with graveyard exploitation and control elements.
Primer:
The deck operates on multiple axes, using Horrors to mill opponents while simultaneously stealing their best creatures through the commander's ability. The primary gameplan involves attacking with evasive Horrors to trigger mill effects, then using Captain N'ghathrod's end-step ability to steal the best creatures that were milled. Secondary strategies include creating Horror tokens and utilizing various graveyard-based value engines. The deck can pivot between aggressive combat damage and controlling the board with stolen creatures, while cards like Mindcrank create powerful mill loops.
Weaknesses:
The deck is heavily reliant on combat damage to enable its primary strategy, making it vulnerable to fog effects and pillowfort strategies. Graveyard hate severely impacts both the mill strategy and the commander's theft ability. The deck can struggle against faster combo decks due to its relatively fair gameplan.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 4/10
- Resilience: 5/10
- Consistency: 6/10
- Interaction: 7/10
Rating Justification:
This deck operates at a focused casual level, with a clear strategy and some powerful interactions, but lacks the fast mana and consistent early game presence to compete at higher power levels. While it can generate significant value through its commander and Horror synergies, it typically needs several turns to establish its gameplan. The interaction suite is decent but not overwhelming, and the deck's reliance on combat damage for its primary strategy keeps it from reaching higher power levels. It would struggle against optimized decks but should perform well in casual pods.
Final power level rating: 5.0 - 5.5
