Ishkanah EDH. Basically a mix of tokens and graveplay. Didn't want to play Meren since I already have a reanimator commander, so Ishkanah seemed like the next best bet for a GB grave-based deck. Of course the big thing to do with her is Spider Tribal, but the problem with that is that most other spiders are expensive vanilla beaters that don't really synergize much with each other and the thought of running Arachnoid just to stay on theme gave me an aneurysm (you can probably guess where the title of the deck came from). This commander's a billion times better when you build around Delirium rather than just try to go for Tribal.

Main goals with this deck is to either play with your graveyard until your opponents die, spam tokens and go for a rushdown, or go infinite with Ishkanah/Grave Titan/Hornet Queen, Ashnod's Altar , and Nim Deathmantle to get infinite mana and infinite tokens. If you go infinite this way with Ishkanah, if you've got enough black mana to activate her ability for each opponent, you can win on the spot, otherwise you can either win through concedes or through combat damage.

Last and most important bit of information I have to give is...

Spider Tribal is ass, stop building it and build Delirium instead.
