Banshee of the Damned

Banshee of the Damned is a Dimir (blue-black) cEDH reanimator/combo Commander deck. Its main plan is to use fast mana, tutors, and self-setup cards like Entomb, Buried Alive, and reanimation spells to cheat powerful creatures into play or assemble compact win lines quickly.

• Combo finishes:
• Thassa’s Oracle + Demonic Consultation/Tainted Pact for an instant win
• Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Walking Ballista for infinite damage
• Gravecrawler + Phyrexian Altar with zombie support for recursive combo/value lines
• Toolbox tutoring: Razaketh can convert creatures into any combo pieces needed.
• Disruption/control: Strong free interaction like Force of Will, Fierce Guardianship, **Pact of Neg
