Invoke the embodiment of death! Themed around shamanic activities, death, decay and revival. Heavily inspired by "The Ritual"

The strategy is to either sacrifice and reanimate many creatures while Syr Konrad, the Grim is on the board or to mutate Nethroi, Apex of Death onto a creature that can buff itself up to deal commander damage.

I conviniently also found place for my copy of Contamination, which doesn't do much but it fits the theme like no other card.
