Scare off your Magic: The Gathering opponents with a Rendmaw, Creaking Nest Commander deck.
It works well in any black deck, but a king should be in command.
It’s a 3/2 legendary Skeleton Noble that can’t block.
Ozox’s most notable feature is its recursion system.
However,it does produce colorless mana on its own, so it’s a safer first draw.
Crypt Ghastpassively increases your mana production from swamps, effectively doubling your mana production from lands.

An alternative to ramping for more mana isdecreasing the cost of your spells.
Occasionally, it alsorewards you for sacrificing creatures by providing you with fresh cardswhen one of your creatures dies.
Since you’ll be sacrificing your commander and other recurring skeletons frequently, you canlean into this feature.
Skeleton, by Svetlin Velinov.
Grim Haruspex does almost the same thing, butonly for your nontoken creatures.
Nasty End is particularly good since it nets three cards when you sacrifice Ozox or Jumblebones.
Desecrated Tomb offers a similar effect butproduces 1/1 flying Batsinstead of undead.
Each time one of your nontoken creatures dies, you’ll get a 2/2 Zombie token.
Dictate of Erebos has the same effect, but with flash.
Don’t forget about life drain effectsthat can trigger in a similar manner!
Ashnod’s Altar, by Greg Staples
Stacking several of these effects will make your recurrence engine a nightmare for your opponents.
The combo is reasonably resilient, as there are several backup pieces available.
Ozox himself can be replaced by several other skeletonsin the deck with a little tweaking of the combo.
Swapping in Reassembling Skeleton or Tenacious Dead works just fine if you replace the Jet Medallion with Pitiless Plunderer.
