Commander / EDH

Y2Krj


Zombie tribal deck with The Scarab God as the commander. Formerly a Gisa and Geralf list.

The main combo of this deck is Cloudstone Curio + Rooftop Storm . This enables you to have infinite Zombie casts for free, provided you have at least 1 Zombie on the battlefield (or the graveyard, under special circumstances).

Once that combo is assembled, having any of these zombies on the battlefield with it produces some kind of infinite combo:

Noxious Ghoul /Skinrender: Infinite creature removal. This is a way to get rid of Indestructible creatures that normally one couldn't handle.

Sedraxis Alchemist: Bounce all nonland permanents that your opponents control by alternating bouncing this and another Zombie with Curio.

Gray Merchant of Asphodel: Infinite Life drain of each of your opponents by alternating bouncing this and another Zombie with Curio (Bonus points for comboing with Sedraxis Alchemist or Skinrender).

Diregraf Colossus/ Noosegraf Mob : Infinite 2/2 Zombie tokens. For the Colossus, no other steps are necessary. Just keep casting free zombies to get more free zombies. With the Mob, the same effect can be achieved by bouncing it back to your hand every 5 loops to refresh the +1/+1 counters on it.

While this combo is what you want in the late game, this deck can still function as an aggro deck in the early game. This is possible because of the multitude of Zombie lords ( Lord of the Accursed , Lord of the Undead , Undead Warchief, Liliana's Mastery, Diregraf Captain, Death Baron, Cemetery Reaper, Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, Risen Executioner, and Zombie Master ) and Zombie token generation. Being able to keep the control decks on their backfoot early while still planning out the late-game combo victory is what this deck wants to do.

Other notable interactions:

Havengul Lich + Rooftop Storm = : Cast target creature from your graveyard.

Altar of Dementia + Gravecrawler + Rooftop Storm : Infinite mill, so long as you control a Zombie.
