Muldrotha, the Gravetide
Fill the graveyard via self-mill and use Muldrotha to gain immense value by casting permanents from the grave, eventually winning with large threats or ETB loops.
Asked for“A $300 Muldrotha, the Gravetide commander deck — a graveyard-focused reanimator deck with self-mill, recursion engines, and big reanimation targets.”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
