When playing clone tribal against competent decks with a reasonable amount of removal, you end up running into two issues:

The cool stuff you copy gets rightfully blown up a lot. The cool stuff you want to copy from your opponents gets blown up a lot.

Even battlecruiser metas save their smidgen of removal for the super scary stuff, such as your clones and opponent's creatures you REALLY want to copy!

So what a better way to support clone tribal with an amazing reanimator commander with blue colors like Sefris, Obeka, or

~{ The Scarab God }~

• The Scarab God, through the power of rules shenanigans and layers can spend 4 mana to exile your 0/0 clones from your graveyard to recopy scary creatures. Due to rules shenanigans and "layers" rules, you may choose to have them enter the battlefield as boring 4/4 zombies or the glorious 6/6 Colossal Dreadmaws they deserve to be.

• The Scarab God is hungry for mana, and late game clone tribal tends to be flooded with it. When you spend all of your mana on 4 mana creatures creatures and your hand starts to empty, The Great and Powerful Scarab God will activate his ability and create even more to flood the field.

• The All Glorious Scarab God is thematic - at all times you have access to a mediocre Body Double.

• The Reasonably Pragmatic Scarab God has built in graveyard hate, which isn't mandatory but is a nice plus.

• The Scarab God has built in shenanigans for committing commander tax fraud, as you you may return to your hand instead of the command zone.

• At it's worst, if there is nothing to clone, you'll end up with a field of ok-ish 4/4 zombies that make you scry and slug your opponent's life totals.

• An opponent smugly plays their own graveyard hate such as Rest in Peace, thinking it foiled all of your plans. The Grand Schemer Scarab God had a different plan the entire time - specifically YOUR plan. The base of clone tribal works reasonably well even with graveyard hate!
