The commander of this deck is the scarab god that is getting released in hour of devastation. The main goal of the deck is going wide with zombies, buffing our zombies, then using The Scarab God triggered ability to knock down our opponents life. Mill is going to be the second focus of the deck (note: this is a zombie deck, not a mill deck. If you want mill to be the focus i highly suggest a Phenax, God of Deception deck.). But milling our opponents can get powerful creatures into their graveyards which we can bring back as zombies. Because of this we do not need to put much late game into the deck because our late game is in our opponents decks! Milling someone out can also but a win condition but swinging with your zombie army, and poking at your opponents life with your commanders ability will probably happen much faster. It's also good to see that we can use our triggered ability at instant speed so saving mana is a good idea. And if saving mana is a good idea in a blue deck, then counter spells are going to be helpful. Just imagine having 6 mana open and countering a creature with a really good ability, then using the remaining mana to have the creature on your side of the battlefield! This card is amazing! Not to mention the fact that every time our commander dies he goes back to our hand so we never have to worry about having to pay a lot for him. If this description helped you make your deck or even convinced you to start making it yourself, please let me know below! And if you think i missed something or you have your own great idea then please leave a comment.
