Sacrifices to the Gods

Commander / EDH

Zollojoh


Create your sacrifices for the ultimate reincarnation~ All HAIL THE SCARAB GOD! Please see Disclaimer Before Reading Further

This deck is the perfect Dimir control/agro/pain/mill deck. Every time I have played this deck, everyone and I mean everyone hates me. The premise of this deck is simple, get a bunch of zombies out to activate the Scarab Gods ability to scry and kill off your opponents at the same time. What you dont expect in this deck are cards that boost off of a zombie theme to help completely obliterate all of your opponents chances at once.

The group effects are nice for a general destruction, but giving a just about unlimited combination of token creation and graveyard return makes this deck a super threat. Plus if for some reason your opponents manage to get through, just chump block and they not only lose their cards but have to sacrifice another creature as well, only making your hoard better.

Add other god affects like Phanex and your mill abilities become almost limitless! Added with a couple Party Tricks listed below and this deck will kill off your opponents in 6 turns or less in commander. Not to mention, in a one-on-one this deck is death come turn 4.

Key parts of this deck are: Undead Alchamist- making all zombie damage turn into card mill Call to Grave + dictate of erebos Traumatize (Only works for one player, but a great way to get their best card abilities for super cheap) Consuming Aberration- Group mill= Giant monster Keying Stone- ( Combined with Traumatize, way to mill someone completely in 2 turns) Mind Crank- Life loss = Mill Gisa and Geralf Sure put my cards in the graveyard, Ill just summon them again. Or turn sack outlets into automatic recursion Fraying Sanity Combined with the Keying stone combo, take out two opponents at the same time.

Coup de grace Rooftop storm- All Zombies are free to play (This means from your hand or the graveyard provided you have the Gisa & Geralf out)

Fun Party tricks Sorin Minus 3 and target players life becomes 10 Tree of Perdition- Tap to get a plays life to become 13. Then this card is a super mill creature once you play Phanex. For example, turn 4 you play Tree of Perdition. Turn 5, you have a 0/37 creature that mills that many every turn after you play Phanex. Torment of Hailfire- Combined with an ultimate Liliana ( All Swamps taps for 4 mana). Its a nice board wipe and beat down at the same time. Archetype of Imagination- Give your creatures (zombies) flying and keeps your opponents from having flying, so now nothing is stopping damage or mill. Not to mention a great way to protect your planeswalkers till they go off.

Please note that I do not claim responsibility for any cards that get torn up or friends that are lost after playing this deck. This deck was built with a challenge to prove mill can be successful in a multiplayer commander setting.
