That's a good base. Take what works and replace what you don't like.

Exp. I've been playing iterations of this for years now and eight one drops are important. You need to start filling your gy ASAP. These are the two best. If you don't want to go into blue, there are cards like Gnawing Vermin but for me, m2 isn't enough. The -1/-1 is helpful so there is some leeway based on META. If I dabble in other colors, Shriekhorn is my go-to.

Satyr's spot can be removed but I play a low land count due to the two modal lands (Glasspool/Mammoth). Mire Triton is another favorite because Deathtouch and gainlfie. It's also a META call. I don't like others like Skull Prophet. If I were playing The Mycotyrant I'd consider it because it 'mills over time' (MOT) but once your opp sees what youre on theyd kill it before you get a chance to use it.

So, in this list I'm 12 goyfs. Eight can self-mill (SM) and the other is useful (Souls) in getting Wonder out of your hand. You can also sac Stitcher to it if you're a T1 Stitcher T2 Souls. Every card in this deck is a permanent besides Unearth so if you fetched at all, you could have a T2 6/6-8/8 Souls of the Lost and that aint to shabby.

I have always played at least 1-2 Nighthowler. It makes those Stitchers, Crabs, and Satyrs a threat and more often than not, takes two spells to kill it (when it's bestowed).

I view this deck as a sort of aggro deck and keeping with 99% creature theme, Grist and Brazen Borrower are my interaction. You can bring in whatever you want (obviously) but it's also provides fliers for Nighthowler, Grist has a built in win-con and protects itself. I always play a Boseiju, Who Endures and if I play more, -1 Unearth for Life from the Loam and if I'm really frisky, I'll add a few more legends, play more of the Channel Lands and another Life/Loam. I've got a oops all Channel lands were all the other lands are Modal and I play Amulet of Vigor with Shriekhorn and use Emry, Lurker of the Loch as a self-mill recur piece. It's fun.

Sidisi is a MOT that can help you go wide. Every time you mill, you get a zombie. I use this in near every build when I'm in color. I've tested Blossoming Tortoise but save that for a Mosswort Bridge version I play and if I can't get that going I want to be able to cast the top end. Shigeki, Jukai Visionary, Molderhulk, Aether Vial + Dryad Arbor help get me there. But just playing the new Squirming Emergence is so much easier than playing all those other cards.

You can find a way to bring in draw, life, other interaction, etc.. it's on you. There are times were I play Jace, the Perfected Mind or Visions of Beyond for draw. Spellstutter Sprite and a few spots for other faeries like Likeness Looter (flying faerie goyfs!).

But that's the base. Do what you want.. because you can literally do anything. I've got a junk list focused on recur with Unearth, Renegade Rallier, Necropanther, Athreos, God of Passage... a jund/grixis list that uses Ob Nixilis, the Adversary and Orcish Bowmasters (sac goyf to etb Ob Nix, Token Ob forces opp to draw 7 for -7 life. Bowmasters deals another 6 plus you get a 6/6 orc token (+2 more for paper Ob +1 if they can't discard). That's a 15 point swing, not including attacks. Another Grixis list that plays Kroxa, Flamewake Phoenix, Seasoned Pyromancer and Ox.

My favorite - game 1, I'm a mill deck that sideboard converts into self-mill game 2. It still deals with the gy but game 1 youre spell heavy and game 2 youre creature heavy.

Anyway, have fun.

I'd prefer to sit down at a table with Wilhelt for sure. Nevy, and Esper in general, usually ends up leaving a bad taste in my mouth afterwards. That said, the Nevy players I've seen have been a bit tryhardy, so really it's just up to you to not be a baboon and put mean stuff in there, lol.

Not to mention that Wilhelt feels like the more flavorful option. He's your commander and his art has him in front of a horde of undead, pointing to the enemy? Feels very on-point.

Other than that, BK said it best up above, Grimgrin is radical and The Scarab God is just plain terrifying.

Another zombie commander I dig is Sidisi, Brood Tyrant. You'd have to change your deck up a fair bit to constitute more milling, but she's super fun to play.

To make it short: I was debating buying cards for a Tocasia, Dig Site Mentor EDH deck. Right before ordering, I realized Tocasia is basically Sidisi, Brood Tyrant in Bant with artifacts instead of zombies.

The result: I don't have to spend the money. And I'm building Sidisi I guess :)

The question: Do you know similar cases of "commander@home-syndrome"?

Sidisi, Brood Tyrant, Basalt Monolith, Mesmeric Orb, Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre is infinite self mill and tokens. drop the two creature to self mill for Laboratory Maniac

Amulet of Vigor, Mystic Sanctuary, Splendid Reclamation, Squandered Resources togehter create infinite landfall. Add in Tatyova, Benthic Druid for draw.

Muldrotha, the Gravetide, Second Chance for infinite turns with low life, or use Eternal Witness, Ashnod's Altar, and Time Warp

I am happy to hear that!

I don't see a place for World Shaper in this deck, but if you're interested in trying it'd have to replace either Sidisi, Brood Tyrant or Spring-Leaf Avenger. You'll likely turn the deck into a glass canon with it and mill yourself to death on turn ten, but perhaps your Urborg Lhurgoyf will be so uber buff that you can make it work.

There'll definately be more budget decks in the future as well.

Yeah Dangerwillrobinson79, it has great replay value because you end up mixing and matching different Frankenstein combinations with The Mimeoplasm, you can win through big bruisers that you keep reanimating, or even steal games with Sidisi, Brood Tyrant after a Hermit Druid activation. There are other toolbox modes too like getting Glen Elendra Archmage out once The Mimeoplasm is on board to keep protection live, or using Stormtide Leviathan and/or Toxrill, the Corrosive to control the board. It's always different and never feels unfair so it's a ton of fun for me.

Hi. Looking for interesting ideas with Darkest Hour, specifically not with the teysa combo though. Just other Cool things you can do by making all creatures black. Will be running this in a Sidisi, Brood Tyrant

Thanks for commenting, ProxyTTV!

Dauthi Voidwalker is a card that, quite frankly, is great in any black deck. I have a Meren of Clan Nel Toth and Sidisi, Brood Tyrant deck that both run the card.

The reason I don't run the card in this deck as well is because I prefer running Ashiok, Dream Render and Nihil Spellbomb for graveyard hate, and I really don't need more. The reason I prefer them over Voidwalker is because Voidwalker doesn't remove cards that are already in your opponent's graveyard and can't give you card advantage until the turn after it's played. Plus, although this is perhaps a little niche, I live in a meta where Animate Dead isn't uncommon, so graveyard hate on a creature can sometimes turn bad for me.

If you play in a meta with a lot of graveyard interaction and/or plenty of big cards you can cast off of Voidwalker, it's definitely still worth running though!
