Grave robbery
Captain N'ghathrod Commander Deck
Captain N'ghathrod leads a mill-and-steal strategy where Horrors attack with menace, forcing opponents to mill cards equal to the damage dealt, then the commander plucks the best artifacts and creatures from those graveyards and puts them directly into play. The deck accelerates milling through landfall triggers, combat damage, and mass mill spells, while threats like Consuming Aberration and Brainstealer Dragon grow larger or generate value as opponent libraries shrink. The late game closes out by reanimating the most powerful cards milled from all graveyards, effectively turning opponents' own decks into resources while winning through overwhelming board presence built from stolen permanents.
