Deck Description

This is my first attempt building a commander deck and my third attempt building a deck in general. My favorite decks are typically built with zombies so that was the initial inspiration here. Someone suggested The Scarab God to me so I decided to run with Blue/Black within the same set (as much as I could; Hour of Devastation).

I also built it within the 8x8 theory (Card Draw, Mana Ramp, Nullification, Destruction, Life Chipping, Milling, Protection, Favorites).

So far I feel like it could be tweaked for better Mana Ramping and I'm worried the cards don't synergize well like they would if it was strictly a zombie deck.

How to Play

The two main goals of this deck are to chip away at the opponents' life and/or to mill out their cards. A lot of the creatures either serve towards that goal with abilities like Afflict or as a line of defense (protection) to keep the player alive while they set up other cards to do the same.
