Strategy

How this commander wants to play

Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet is your sacrifice-focused midrange engine that turns opponent deaths into a growing army of Zombies. Every creature your opponents lose becomes a 2/2 token under your control, which means you're building an advantage while they're losing resources. You pump Kalitas with +1/+1 counters by sacrificing your own Vampires and Zombies, creating a feedback loop where you're simultaneously growing your commander and fueling your aristocrat synergies. The deck aims to control the early game with removal and discard, accumulate tokens as the game progresses, and then either swing for massive commander damage with a pumped-up Kalitas or overwhelm with token tokens in the mid-to-late game.

Same gameplan, less money

Skip pricey staples like Cabal Coffers; use basic black ramp like Dark Ritual, Phyrexian Arena, and Crypt of Agadeem instead. Cheap sac outlets like Viscera Seer and Altar of Dementia replace Ashnod's Altar.
