Strategy
Sefris turns your graveyard into a resource engine by rewarding you for filling it with creature cards. Every creature that hits your graveyard triggers venturing into the dungeon, and once you complete a dungeon (usually in 3-4 turns), you get to reanimate a creature for free. Your gameplan is to mill yourself or discard creatures intentionally while working through dungeons, then cash in your completed dungeons for powerful reanimation plays. This creates a self-fueling loop where your "discard outlets" become your "reanimate outlets."
Build around cards that mill you or bin creatures—think Think Twice, Stitcher's Supplier, or Satyr Wayfinder—combined with cheap interaction and card draw. Your deck wants to set up a steady stream of creatures entering your graveyard each turn to trigger Sefris consistently. Once you've completed a dungeon or two, you're reanimating threats and building a board presence. The deck naturally pivots from setup into a midrange game where you're recurring threats while your commander slowly chips in damage.
Win through a combination of reanimated creatures attacking, commander damage, and eventually overwhelming your opponents with value. You're not a fast combo deck, but you're resilient—your graveyard is your second hand, and Sefris keeps turning it into fresh threats.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip pricey tutors like Mystical Tutor; use self-mill like Milking Drake and Mulch instead, and lean on modal removal (Counterspell, Spell Pierce, Flicker of Fate) rather than expensive interaction.
