Looking for a recommended abzan (wgb) commander. I really like reanimator, angels and stax!

Maybe consider Myrkul, Lord of Bones. It can reanimate hate bears and use a token doubler on them if you're feeling extra mean.

+1 for Myrkul. Mines a pretty janky deck but its so fun. I threw pod into it as well
@SpuncerTV wowowow this guy looks so fun. He’s got a pretty spendy cmc but he might be a good include somewhere else
- Karador, Ghost Chieftain is a good time and can be built for lots of different archetypes. Mine's creature token bullshit and is a lot of fun.

Nethroi, apex of death seems like an obvious choice for creature reanimation. You can also try Anikthea, hand of Erebos for enchantment reanimation, which can get pretty staxy.

@attemptX these are some great suggestions! I’m gonna go build some deck lists and report back

I had a nice Kathril Aspect Warper deck. It was mainly a voltron deck but used the graveyard instead of auras/equipments etc... My goal was to pack the deck with creatures that had as many keywords as possible on them and find a way to discard them reliably. I could then cast Kathril as a flying first strike double strike trample vigilance lifelink indestructible reach deathtouch hexproof menace with +11/+11 counters. Game was over in max three turns after that. Before the appearance of Farewell, it never ever got removed. I got there using graveyard tutor effects like Fauna Shaman or Jarad's orders to get some of the most loaded creatures I could find. MVPS were Zetalpa Primal Dawn, Bassara Tower archer and Akroma vision of Ixidor (angel!). The deck is white so it's a good idea to run some good ole Rule of law, Ghostly Prison, Thalia etc..since you might be opened a bit during early game. I didn't really bother as I would rather focus but I did try this strat to great effect. Anyway kinda fun deck although a bit repetitive with the tutor targets and all but definitely a unique take on voltron as far as I can tell.

You could totally build a reanimator/stax deck by building it around self-mill and hatebears in abzan!

There's a couple routes you could take, the first that comes to mind is to not be too commander-dependent. Through a commander like Ixhel, Scion of Atraxa. She's great because you can just put pressure on opponents and get benefits by skimming off the top of their decks while you slow everyone's game plans down through your hatebears and reanimation.

The second way is to actually focus on the commander a bit, with for example Nethroi or Meren for reanimation. Or someone more janky like Myrkul for essentially turning your fragile little hatebears into immortal stax pieces

Personally I would go even crazier with Tayam because I simply adore that commander.

P.S. yeah there's a reason my username is izzen't (->abzan fan)

Look out for the new commander masters decl releasing in August. One of them is an abzan enchantment creature reanimator deck that I think will prove very promising.

Thalia and the Gitrog monster checks almost all of your marks.
