A Commander deck inspired by Folk Horror stories like Midsommar and The Witch. As much as possible, these cards should be creepy and rural. For the time being, I'm thinking this needs to be an Abzan (WBG) deck and include as many Humans and cards from Innistrad: Midnight Hunt as possible, since that is the most folk horror themed set. So Nethroi, Apex of Death is the current Commander, with the idea that he is the product of a ritual of renewal that the villagers are preparing for.
