This deck is an ongoing project of mine. This is my 3rd commander deck, and is definitely my favorite so far. It is a decent combination of some powerful cards with abilities that I find to be pretty fun.

The deck has two main aims:1. Mill my opponents2. Reanimate and steal all of their fun things

Mill is not exactly a competitive strategy as milling is much tougher when it is 100 cards particularly is there are multiple people, which is ok as many of the cards are a touch cheaper as a result. I might not win super often, but that's part of multiplayer and is a trade-off I'm ok making so long as I am having interactive enjoyable games. This is not to say that this deck can't win, because it certainly can and does.

One of the other things I like about this strategy is that it is something that can be tuned to your playgroup. I run a number of different legendaries that can be subbed in and out as the commander depending on the power level and/or of your playgroup. My personal favorite is Lazav as his ability his barrels of fun. My order of preferences probably goes:1. Lazav2. Oona3. Mirko Vosk4. Szadek

The other nice thing about reanimation is that it is only as powerful as the people you are playing. If you are playing against a $5000 deck, enjoy your reanimated shiny toys! If you are playing against some kind of pauper deck...well have fun with pauper things. Makes it where you can compete with more powerful decks without being completely oppressive to others that might be newer or with less powerful decks.

Some fun combinations are Keening Stone + Traumatize and Duskmantle Guildmage + Mindcrank . These are both pretty powerful, but seeing as you only have one tutor in the deck, it shouldn't be too unfun. Altar of Dementia + Undead Alchemist is another personal favorite.

This deck is definitely a work in progress, but if you have any ideas, definitely leave a comment below. Thanks!
