Scarab God has become my favorite tribal zombie commander, because he does not require tribal zombie cards to be the only creatures in the deck and he will still be a tribal zombie deck. I support my zombies with artifacts and I have many creature recursion capabilities. I want to avoid having to exile my own cards with Scarab God, so I try to recur my own creatures from the graveyard while depleting enemy decks of creatures by exiling them from their graveyards.

Ultimately the end goal is to find a way to swing lethal while having lots of versatility and answers for opposing creature strategies. I am sure this deck has some holes and can be exploited by certain types of opposing decks, but I have yet to really play test enough to figure out exactly what the next changes to this deck should be.

Please feel free to comment with suggestions for card replacements. Please do note that my meta discourages infinite combos so I don't tend to build them into my decks. Thanks for looking at my deck!
