Thraximundar, Life's Executioner

Commander / EDH Tribal UBR (Grixis) Zombie

Maybeboard


His name means "he who paints the earth red."


The deck is Zombie Tribal themed and while it may not be the most competitive I do want it be a deck that people remember playing against win or lose.

The goal/win conditions are simple, either overrun my opponent's defenses with a throng of beefed up zombies from tribal lords or to do 21 commander damage, which ever comes first.

If these don't work, I can assemble an infinite sacrifice combo to get the job done but only doing so as a last resort.


Primary win condition: Unleash the Horde

Produce one or more tribal lords (Cemetery Reaper, Diregraf Captain, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, Undead Warchief) and combine them with either Army of the Damned and/or Endless Ranks of the Dead.

Secondary win condition: Assassinate Them

Play out Thraximundar, Life's Executioner and in combination with the tribal lords above, some sacrifice effects (Phyrexian Altar, Stronghold Assassin, and Hell's Caretaker), maybe an opponent board wipe (Plague Wind), and possible mix in some evasion (Cover of Darkness, Rogue's Passage you get a beefy Zombie Assassin to deal 21 Commander damage as quick as possible.


Current cards on the chopping block when better cards are decided upon:
Unbreathing Horde
Hell's Caretaker
Deadeye Navigator
Crypt Ghast
Chainer, Dementia Master


Infinite sac creature combos:

We have multiple filters/tutors (Diabolic Revelation, Diabolic Tutor, Increasing Ambition, Lim-Dul's Vault and Long-Term Plans) to achieve these.

Rooftop Storm + Any Sac Outlet works in place of the Phyrexian Altar below but requires an additional card for the combo.

Phyrexian Altar + Gravecrawler + Diregraf Captain/Deathbringer Thoctar = Infinite Damage

Phyrexian Altar + Gravecrawler + >Zombie< + Dark Prophecy = Massive Card Draw

Phyrexian Altar + Gravecrawler + >Zombie< + Grave Pact = Opponent Creature Board Wipe

Phyrexian Altar + Gravecrawler + >Zombie< + Rooftop Storm/Mikaeus, the Unhallowed = Infinite Mana

Phyrexian Altar + Gravecrawler + Thraximundar= ∞/∞ Zombie Assassin

Originally the deck started as a mono black Mikaeus deck and has kept it's Zombie theme but moved to Grixis colors giving it a lot more options. As a result, I am cleaning up the comments as they pertained to the original deck.
