Xu-Ifit, Osteoharmonist

Xu-Ifit turns your graveyard into a second hand, letting you reanimate creatures as stripped-down Skeletons. The core gameplan is filling your graveyard early with value creatures, then grinding out wins by repeatedly bringing them back as 0-ability bodies. You're not cheating out massive threats—instead, you're generating incremental value through evasion, sacrifice outlets, and creature enters triggers. The deck wins through slow but steady creature advantage, turning your graveyard into an endless resource while opponents run out of answers.

Build around cheap creatures with enter-the-battlefield effects that don't rely on abilities: think Mulldrifter, Blade Splicer, and Zulaport Cutthroat. Pair Xu-Ifit with sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer or Ashnod's Altar to double-dip—reanimate a creature, immediately sacrifice it for value, then do it again next turn. Since reanimated creatures lose their abilities, you want creatures whose value comes from entering the battlefield, not from what they can do in play. This turns the commander into a consistent engine that grinds opponents out while keeping your own threat density high.
