🎃 Monster Mash
Pick your horror and brew it. The best spooky-season Commander tribes — vampires, werewolves, zombies, ghosts and straight-up monsters — with real decklists and live prices.
🧛Vampires
Aristocrats, tokens and life drain
The signature Halloween tribe: swarm with tokens, drain the table dry, and punish every life total that moves. Vampire decks reward going wide and bleeding your opponents one trigger at a time.
Edgar Markov →
The definitive vampire general — eminence spits out a token for every vampire you cast, so the board snowballs before turn five.
Strefan, Maurer Progenitor →
Blink and attack-trigger value that floods the board with vampire tokens off your bigger threats.
Olivia Voldaren →
A grindy control vampire that steals creatures and pings the board all night.
Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose →
Turns every point of lifegain into life loss for the table — the classic drain finish.
🐺Werewolves
Day and night, then stomp
Flip to night, transform the pack, and swing with trampling beaters. Werewolf decks live on the day/night mechanic — hold off on spells, let the moon rise, and watch your whole board get bigger at once.
🧟Zombies
They just keep coming back
Endless tokens, graveyard recursion and attrition. Zombie decks don't mind trading — everything comes back, and the horde only gets wider. Play the long game and bury the table in bodies.
Wilhelt, the Rotcleaver →
The modern zombie engine — decayed tokens, card draw, and a board that rebuilds itself every turn.
Gisa and Geralf →
Cast and recast zombies from the graveyard for pure value in mono-flavoured blue-black.
Varina, Lich Queen →
Go-wide zombies with card advantage and a looting engine to fuel the yard.
The Scarab God →
Reanimate the best creatures in every graveyard and scry-drain the table to death.
👻Ghosts & Spirits
Evasive, flickering, hard to pin down
Flying tokens, death triggers and recursion you can't catch. Spirit decks float above the ground game — chip in through the air, bring threats back from the dead, and slip the removal that would stop anyone else.
👹Monsters, Demons & Eldrazi
The biggest, scariest things in the game
When subtlety isn't the point. Ramp into colossal threats, demons that demand a price, and Eldrazi titans that end games on cast. If you want your Halloween table to feel genuinely threatened, this is the shelf.
Rakdos, Lord of Riots →
A demon that turns every point of damage into free mana for your biggest spells.
Kozilek, the Great Distortion →
Refills your hand on cast and hits like a truck — colourless big-mana payoff.
Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger →
Exiles permanents on cast and mills the game out — an inevitable finisher.
Emrakul, the Promised End →
The ultimate top-end: take an extra turn and seize a rival the moment she lands.
Want something genuinely offbeat?
Try Reaper King, the five-colour Scarecrow king. Changelings count as Scarecrows, so every creature that enters blows up a permanent — the most on-theme removal engine in the game. It's the kind of brew the Monster Mash was made for.
