Legendary Creature — Symbiote Hero
When Anti-Venom enters, if he was cast, return target creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. If damage would be dealt to Anti-Venom, prevent that damage and put that many +1/+1 counters on him.
“Damage-proof reanimator who grows bigger and loops creatures back from the grave.”
Anti-Venom, Horrifying Healer is a resilient midrange commander that turns damage into card advantage and board presence. His enter-the-battlefield effect immediately reanimates a creature, giving you tempo, while his damage prevention ability turns him into an unkillable threat that grows bigger the more your opponents try to deal with him. This creates a natural incentive for opponents to leave him alone—but if they don't, he just gets stronger.
Your gameplan revolves around protecting Anti-Venom while filling your graveyard with creatures you want to reanimate. Once he's established, he becomes a repeatable recursion engine if you can flicker or bounce him. You're not racing anyone; you're grinding value until you've assembled enough board presence to take over the game through sheer attrition and repeated reanimation loops. The deck wins by accumulating creatures, growing Anti-Venom into a threat, and eventually overwhelming through combat or commander damage as your opponents run out of removal.

Skip expensive tutors like Enlightened Tutor; use budget creatures like Reassembling Skeleton and Doomed Necromancer as recursion, and lean on free reanimation like Lurrus of the Dream-Den.
