**Umbris, Fear Manifest**

_Dimir Mill & Nightmare/Horror Tribal_

Umbris, Fear Manifest is a really fun twist on the mill strategy set up by earlier commanders such as Phenax, God of Deception and Bruvac the Grandiloquent by changing the mill strategy into an exile strategy and adding in commander damage. The deck functions quite strongly without the commander in play. However, once you play Umbris, Fear Manifest, the deck really can take off. Keeping your hand fueled is one of the weaknesses of the deck, and luckily Blue/Black () has plenty of draw options.

Getting Cards into Exile

Umbris, Fear Manifest functions off of exiling cards, not so much milling. However, milling a lot of cards into the graveyard and then exiling all graveyards is a solid strategy, all-be-it a little roundabout.

Exile Payoffs

Boosting Umbris

Umbris, Fear Manifest can become HUGE in a very short amount of time. However, it lacks any evasion. Having a suite of cards that allow Umbris to deal commander damage is essential to this strategy.

Player Removal

With how large Umbris can get, these two cards can act as player removal to either instantly kill a difficult opponent or to take out the last remaining opponent and end the game.

Keep the Plan Moving Forward

Double Triggers

  • Roaming Throne: Doubles Umbris’s triggered ability. Or any other cards for that matter. Also serves as another Horror.
  • Aboleth Spawn: Copies other creatures triggers. Also helps with Umbris’s triggered ability.

Card Draw

  • Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholar: Card draw on combat damage. Supports Umbris’s triggered ability.
  • Phyrexian Rager: Supports the Horror tribal triggered ability on Umbris and draws a card.
  • Dread Presence: Supports Umbris’s triggered ability and has a sudo-landfall ability to draw cards from.
  • Whispering Madness: Wheel effect with a Cipher ability!
  • Windfall: Wheel effect
  • Black Market Connections: This is the whole package. Can ramp, draw a card, AND create a changeling, which will support Umbris’s triggered ability… all at the same time!
  • PhyrexianArena: The budget Black Market Connections.
  • Mystic Remora: Classic card draw enchantment
  • Rhystic Study: Even more classic card draw enchantment.
  • Bonders' Enclave: With Umbris, we will almost always have a creature with power 4 or great to draw a card from this card.
