Strategy
Othelm, Sigardian Outcast is a recursion engine that turns your graveyard into a second hand. Every creature you sacrifice or mill this turn can be replayed, letting you squeeze extra value from expendable bodies. The deck thrives on filling your graveyard and looping creatures—sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer or Ashnod's Altar let you dump creatures into your bin, then tap Othelm to flash them back repeatedly. You win by generating massive value through repeated enters-the-battlefield triggers (like Zulaport Cutthroat draining opponents or Mulldrifter drawing cards), eventually overwhelming the table through sheer resource generation or combat pressure.
The "Friends Forever" partner ability means you can pair Othelm with another partner commander to add colors or complementary mechanics—say, Gavi, Nest Warden for additional card draw, or Tymna the Weaver for extra resources. The deck is forgiving because you're constantly rebuilding resources from your graveyard; you don't need a perfect hand if your graveyard is full of creatures. It's a grindy midrange deck that excels at turning small plays into long-term advantage.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Replace expensive sac outlets like Urza's Saga with budget Viscera Seer and free sacs like Zulaport Cutthroat. Mulldrifter and Solemnity substitutes hit the same beats without breaking the bank.
