Grimgrin, Corpse-Born

Grimgrin, Corpse-Born is a recursion engine that turns creature sacrifice into untap triggers and +1/+1 counters. Your game plan is to assemble a sacrifice outlet ecosystem—tokens, cheap creatures, and reanimation effects that feed Grimgrin while he grows into a flying, destructive threat. Each sacrifice untaps him and adds a counter, and every attack forces your opponent to lose a blocker while Grimgrin gets bigger. The deck wins through commander damage once you've built up enough counters, typically by turn 6-8.

You'll want token generators like Bitterblossom, Lingering Souls, and Reef Worm to provide endless sacrificial fodder. Pair these with cards like Rooftop Storm (which makes all zombies free) and Reassembling Skeleton for repeatable sac targets. Reanimation spells such as Zombie Infestation, Living Death, and Undead Alchemist turn your graveyard into a second hand, ensuring you never run out of creatures to feed Grimgrin. The deck naturally grinds value while pumping your commander into an evasive finisher.
