How this commander wants to play

Hansk is a hilarious political engine that punishes your opponents for playing the tokens *you* force them to create. Your core gameplan is simple: make opponents spawn Zombies every turn, then kill those Zombies with Hansk's tap ability or other removal to generate card draw and damage. You're essentially playing a slow grindy game where you're the only one actually in control—opponents get annoyed at having their board filled with your gifts, while you dig through your deck and ping creatures. The deck wins by converting zombie deaths into overwhelming card advantage, then using that advantage to either combo off, burn everyone out, or just outlast the table with sheer resources.
