Commander (1)

---

My deck built around the idea that Grimgrin could be a good commander beyond noncompetative zombie-tribal decks. Not the best of decks and has plenty of weaknesses, but fun to play. Has won more than its fair share of games.

Basic idea is obviously to use creatures with their own recursion, such as Reassembling Skeleton and keep Grimgrin ready and often able to oneshot opponents.

I do have plenty of other ways to untap Grimgrin if there's much gravehate in the game, but I generally don't need them.

Of course, I somewhat exploit the continuous deaths of my creatures, but not that much. I also don't really have other sac outlets, which could be useful.

Also, some general utility and fun stuff.
