When Ikoria first released, I was looking at the cards and new I had to build a commander with the Mutate ability. One immediately jumped out at me: Nethroi, Apex of Death. I always loved playing around with the graveyard in Magic, and Nethroi seemed like it had the potential to pull off massive plays.

I like to divide the deck into two main halves: Mill, and Return.

For the first half, Mill, it was important for me to have continuous mill sources. Sure spot mill sources, like Excavation Moll and Liliana's Indignation have a place in the deck, but consistency is key here. Underrealm Lich, Splinterfright, Crop Sigil, and Nyx Weaver are some of our better sources. Dredge does have a place here as well. Shambling Shell, Stinkweed Imp, and Grave-Shell Scarab are super useful cards.

The second core, Return, is where things get much more fun and where the deck really takes off. I try to have a good balance of powerful creatures to return, such as Zetalpa, Primal Dawn, Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, Sun Titan, Rankle, Master of Pranks, Desolation Twin, and Akroma, Angel of Wrath. The other half are ETB effects that can give us great value, such as Acidic Slime, Gonti, Lord Of Luxary, Meteor Golem, Solemn Simulacrum, and Verdurous Gearhulk.

Thats all, thanks for looking.
