How this commander wants to play

Witch-king, Sky Scourge is a flying beater that turns combat into card advantage. Every time you attack with Wraiths, you exile cards from the top of your library and get to play them that turn—essentially turning your deck into a temporary hand. The higher the total power of your attacking Wraiths, the more cards you unlock. Undying gives you a safety net: if the Witch-king dies, it comes back with a counter, so you're not entirely reliant on evasion.

Build around Wraith tribal to maximize the payoff. Cards like Drana's Chosen, Bloodghast, and Reassembling Skeleton give you repeatable Wraith tokens and recurring bodies. Pair this with sacrifice outlets and cards that benefit from creatures dying, turning undying triggers into extra value. The deck naturally plays like a midrange beatdown that generates card advantage whenever it connects, letting you refuel hand and cast big spells on the same turn you attack.
