How Thraximundar decks play in EDH
Thraximundar is a Grixis commander in blue, black and red costing 4UBR, and its legendary creature - zombie assassin line shapes the whole deck around it. Sacrifice is built into the card, which pairs it with cheap recursive creatures and payoffs that trigger when something dies. It cares about +1/+1 counters, so counter-doubling effects and creatures that grow on their own carry the deck. The cards below are the ones Thraximundar decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
