Zellix, Sanity Flayer

Zellix is a clever mill-focused commander that turns your opponents' discarded creatures into your army. You're milling opponents—either through your own activated ability or by forcing mill effects onto the table—and every creature that hits their graveyard becomes a Horror token for you. The deck plays a midrange game where you're slowly grinding value while building a board presence, eventually overwhelming opponents with your token swarm.

Your game plan centers on redundant mill effects and cards that punish mills. Pair Zellix with a Background that fixes your mana, draws cards, or gives you utility. You'll fill the deck with repeatable mill payoffs, creatures that mill when they enter or attack, and effects that trigger off opponent discards. The beauty is that even if you're not winning early, you're converting their library into your resources—it's a slow, grinding value engine that scales throughout the game.
