Strategy
Blex is a flexible tool that rewards you for playing a graveyard-focused midrange deck. The front side is a humble 1/1 that exiles cards from your graveyard, but the real payoff is the back side—Search for Blex—which you can cast for free whenever a creature enters the graveyard under your control. This turns every creature death into a potential tutor, letting you dig for answers or set up combo pieces. You win by grinding out value with creatures that trigger death effects (ETB, death triggers, sacrifice outlets), then converting that advantage into commander damage or a critical mass of threats.
Build around self-mill and creature sacrifice synergies. Cards like Stitcher's Supplier, Satyr Wayfinder, and Viscera Seer mill your deck while triggering Blex's escape ability repeatedly. Creatures with death triggers like Shriekmaw, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Cartel Aristocrat turn your graveyard into a toolbox. The goal is to sculpt your graveyard into a hand extension, using Search for Blex to tutor key pieces while your creatures chip away damage and generate incremental value. Once you've assembled a few synergies, you can run away with the game through raw card advantage and board presence.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Use budget creatures like Mulch, Grisly Salvage, and Undead Butler instead of expensive staples like Stitcher's Supplier; Viscera Seer and free sac outlets are the backbone, not high-end tutors.
