A deck I made during the pandemic.I used to be a heavy infinite combo player but random people at spelltable weren't having fun so I made a fun but optimized Scarab God deck. I tried my best to be as far as I can from zombie tribal since I don't want my deck to be linear and would want the best amount of replay value I could get from my deck.

It's basically goodstuff reanimator that mostly benefits with etb triggers. I went heavy with control and removal cards because the deck usually shines mid to late game and I need to make sure that I can hold the fort till I get there. Also, my plethora of removal makes sure that my opponent's graveyard will always be full of reanimation targets.

I threw in a little bit of zombie spawn support coming from Grave Titan, Necrotic Hex, Overseer of the Damned and some standalone zombie creatures to fully utilize my commander's opponent lifeloss upkeep trigger.

So far so good!
