This is the ultimate experience of UB zombie domination. I have had several incarnations of EDH zombie but with The Scarab God , the path to ultimate zombie apocalypse became perfectly clear. It is rather quite simple: Create zombies, empower them with global effects from other zombies and artifacts, attack and make opponents suffer when the zombies die.

When brute force alone doesn't cut it, there are some clever style interactions that can deliver global damage enough to secure an OTK win but that is the feel good kind of combo, not the abusive type earned just by sitting around searching for combo pieces.

The decklist is quite portable and the other legends in the deck, Phenax, God of Deception and Grimgrin, Corpse-Born , can be swapped in as commander for a totally different, albeit probably less effective experience.

Obviously the land list is sub-par right now but I have several other symbbol:UBx decks that compete for land with this one.

Below are some fun interactions with sample values. The numbers may seem unrealistic but it is actually quite easy to get a large number of empowered tokens that generate even more tokens with cards like Undead Alchemist and Coat of Arms

• Rite of Replication + Diregraf Captain + 4 zombies + Grimgrin, Corpse-Born = (6*4) + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 39 damage to each opponent

• Infinite Reflection + Vengeful Dead + 6 creatures + Decree of Pain = 7 * 7 = 49 damage to each opponent

• Phenax, God of Deception + 9 zombies + Coat of Arms = 7 + ((8+2) * 9) = 97 card mill

• Phenax, God of Deception + 9 zombies + Undead Alchemist + Throne of the God-Pharaoh + Lightning Greaves = 11 damage to each opponent and 7 + (9*2) + 2 = 27 card mill which means more zombies to tap which means more mill and more damage and more zombies to tap if you are lucky.

• Ghoulcaller Gisa + Unbreathing Horde + Sheoldred, Whispering One + n zombies on battlefield and in graveyard = 2n zombies each turn (not counting any additional zombies in the graveyard)
