The Best Zombie Commanders

[@Turn140]

Very insightful, getting into commander I have way to many zombies and looking for a good commander. Thank you!

[@CosmicMangoMTG]

Glad I could help!

Varina's my favorite of the ones listed, I have a commander deck with her at the helm. Love the support from white in terms of attacking and tokens, my favorite card in the deck being Reconnaissance that way i still get more looting without worrying about my creatures dying.

[@zackkelley2940]

White also gives easy access to artifact/enchantment removal AND you get to run the handful of white zombies such as Corpse Knight, Wayward Servant, and God-Eternal Oketra.^^

[@CosmicMangoMTG]

She sure is awesome! Reconnaissance is a crazy card

[@zackkelley2940]

I like running Ghoulcaller Gisa in a power matters type deck (Yargle and Multani for instance). Golgari is REALLY good for this sort of thing. Yes, I WILL sacrifice my 4cmc Daemogoth Titan to make 11 2/2 zombies.^^

[@CosmicMangoMTG]

Very nice! Haha :)

I love Varina, Esper Zombies are best zombies. Special shout out to Geralf Visionary Stitcher, you've tried the best Zombie Commanders now try the rest! I just dig how silly this commander can be in a mono blue deck since you aren't really putting zombies in the deck but creatures with big buts that can be turned into bigger zombies with a little icing on top: Flying :P LOL

[@CosmicMangoMTG]

Oh wow Geralf looks so whacky and fun haha. Flying zombies 🧟😂 thanks for sharing that one

[@TheMeditatingRaven]

I honestly think Ratadabrik of Urborg fits Varina well since he gives zombies vigilance and legendary zombie creatures can be copied, and the originals reanimated, to keep full momentum going. The 2 ward does not hurt either, making him mana inefficient to remove.

[@CosmicMangoMTG]

Hi Raven, Great recommendation dude! :)

[@mgmed0368]

I'm currently working on a sidisi, Undead vizier zombie toolbox deck but I'm honestly struggling balancing between zombies cretures to sacrifice sac outlets to sac my commander and cards like supernatural stamina too bring my comander back at instant speed for 1 mana

[@CosmicMangoMTG]

Both sound so fun. I’m sure they mix well? :)

[@someguy4502]

Got Wilhelt, hate combos .... got scarab god, optimal build isnt zombie tribal... got Varina .... ? yet to see.

[@CosmicMangoMTG]

Ah man, I love scarab god!

[@natehill9948]

I keep reading how the Scarab God "dodges" Commander tax, how does that work? Doesn't the commander go into the commander zone whenever it dies, so how would it go to our hand? Sorry, relatively new to MTG

[@CosmicMangoMTG]

Hi, welcome to magic the gathering, it's a lot of fun :D So the scarab god says the following: "When The Scarab God dies, return it to its owner’s hand at the beginning of the next end step." This means you can choose to have it go to your hand instead of the command zone if its killed. This means you can bypass the commander tax. However if someone exiles the scarab god, this effect won't work and you'll have to send him to the command zone. Hope this helps! :D

[@zackkelley2940]

I prefer Muldrotha for sultai zombies (though Sidisi IS in the 99) since he can get back cards like Waste Not, Crowded Crypt, Field of the Dead, etc.

[@CosmicMangoMTG]

Muldrotha is an awesome commander!

[@Bozzyverse]

What do you think of Grimgrin?

[@CosmicMangoMTG]

Grim grim is cool! Makes a great Voltron commander I reckon :)

[@Bozzyverse]

I was thinking of running him with a few unblockable synergies but mostly like a sac outlet kind of guy.

[@g.kalomiris]

Which is the best of those to make a full zombie deck ?

[@CosmicMangoMTG]

Hi :) In my opinion, I'd pick The scarab god. He just rewards zombie tribal so much and makes it very fun too :D

[@connorburke512]

Thax is better

[@connorburke512]

And yes the scarab god is good thax is good too

[@connorburke512]

Bro what about Thraximundor grixis zombies you didn't even minchin them damn

[@CosmicMangoMTG]

Darn, that is indeed a good one! :D

[@mr.wafflesrz1137]

Sadly Varina is not a May ability

[@CosmicMangoMTG]

Yes, it sure is!

[@mr.wafflesrz1137]

@@CosmicMangoMTG Doesn't say you may, you're forced to discard and draw

[@CosmicMangoMTG]

@@mr.wafflesrz1137 Hi ! I read your message wrong, for some reason I thought it said "It's a shame Varina is not a may..." and I was agreeing to it with " Yes it sure is" My bad haha XD
