About this Lim-Dûl the Necromancer deck

A complete 100-card Commander deck: Lim-Dûl the Necromancer, 61 spells, and 38 lands, 9 of them basics. Its estimated price is $43.42 in TCGplayer singles, and no card but the commander may cost more than $2.

The list is drawn from what Lim-Dûl the Necromancer decks actually play. Of the cards that fit the budget, the most played are Death Baron, Fleshbag Marauder and Lord of the Accursed. The picks most particular to this commander are Zombie Master, Endless Ranks of the Dead and Gravespawn Sovereign, which turn up here far more often than in other Mono-Black decks.

Its average mana value is 3.61. It runs no Game Changers.

These targets add up to 108 because a card can fill more than one role. 7 of your cards count in multiple rows. Modal spell/land cards count as whole lands here; the card-type sections use the front face. Your commander is excluded from these counts.

Roles use imported classifications or curated sample labels. 0 cards lack role data, so counts may be incomplete. Plan counts the cards that fill none of the rows above: the ones this commander’s decks play most distinctively, taken best first once the role targets are met.
