Graveyard matters.

This is a fun little deck, a bit slow to get going so if in your meta everybody's decks start going off turn 4/5 then I probably wouldn't bother trying to run this deck, but if you play a lot games with slower decks then this is great fun.

There a lot of obvious this in here so I won't go through them. Lots of tutors and lots of cards that tutor to the graveyard, which with your commander in play is as good as to your hand.

A few notable cards and combos are things like The Gitrog Monster + Dakmor Salvage

Spore Frog is an obvious soft lock. Multani, Yavimaya's Avatar can be a big threat.

I like Kokusho, the Evening Star with Ashnods alter in play. Cast Kokusho and sack him to ash nods, gain 2 mana and each opponent loses 5 life and you gain 15 life. Using your commander, cast him again from the graveyard and ask him back to ash nods, you have now hit everyone for 10 and gained 30 life. Cast Animate Dead dead targeting Kokusho, sack him to ashnods, you have now netted 6 mana, done 15 damage to your opponents and gained 45 life. You can even use your commander to cast Animate Dead from the grave and target Kokusho again!! This is insane and you can do it ever turn, cast Kokusho from the grave, sack him and then cast animate dead. Brutal!! Journey to Eternity   will work too.

Filth + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth is a great combo for making your team unblock able. Asceticism protects your board and can regenerate a creature (your commander). Cast Curator's Ward on Asceticism to protect it if you want.

Things like Voyager Staff and Darksteel Plate and Lightning Greaves all protect you commander as well as Thrull Retainer and Carapace.

Perpetual Timepiece and Dreamborn Muse and cronic flooding can all be good self mill for filing up your graveyard. The best card for this is Mirror-Mad Phantasm shuffle him into your deck and reveal cards until you hit him. He goes back into play and everything revealed goes into your graveyard. then if you want, pay two and do it again. With your commander in play this is an incredible draw engine.

Finally two ways to round out the game are Possessed Portal and Mindslaver

Have fun with the deck, please leave a comment with any tips or advice.
