"You will not remember what I show you know, and yet I shall awaken memories of love, crime, and death,"

--Boris Karlov, 1932

Tonight we tell the tale of the Imhotep, the Mummy. His rise will bring a new dawn, like the sun on the desert. May his power be eternal.

The plot

A team of British archaeologists led by Sir Joseph Whemple (Jace Beleren) discover the mummified remains of the ancient Egyptian prince Imhotep (The Scarab God), along with the legendary scroll of Thoth. When one of the archaeologists recites the scroll aloud, Imhotep returns to life, but escapes. Several years later, Imhotep has taken on the guise of a wealthy man, as he searches Egypt for his lost love, who he believes has been reincarnated as the lovely Helen Grosvenor (Chandra Nalaar).

The Strategy

You want to stay low, lay out as many combo possibilities as possible. If someone sets out something that interrupts combos, don't worry about killing of The Scarab God to a Sac effect, he'll just come back your hand. If there is no way to set up the combo, that's where your army of Zombies comes out.

The Combo

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Tatterkite / Triskelion / Wingrattle Scarecrow + Any Sac Effect (Ashnod's Altar, Altar of Dementia, etc.)

Army of Zombies

- Liliana, the Last Hope - Arcane Adaptation - Grave Titan - Endless Ranks of the Dead

Why Scarab God?

If you enjoy zombies and graveyard shenanigans along with a commander that avoids command tax, The God of Gods is for you.

This my first primer, I hope you guys enjoy it. I'm open for comments or suggestions. Until next time...
