Grim Harvest: Dread Summons
Dread Summons stands as a reliable mill-to-board option for black midrange and reanimator pilots. Casting Dread Summons with a healthy value for X turns the graveyard into a resource and the battlefield into a swarm. The card name appears on many Commander lists because each player milling X cards scales well in multiplayer, and the printed effect rewards creature-heavy graveyards by creating tapped 2 2 black Zombie creature tokens for each creature card milled.
Use Dread Summons to fuel sacrifice engines, provide blockers, or flood the board when opponents overcommit to library manipulation. The flavor line from Liliana Vess fits the set tone and hints at the card acting as a soft mass reanimation tool without directly returning permanents. If you build around graveyard synergy, add Dread Summons to seize incremental advantages and close games on the back of undead tokens. Pick up this Near Mint English copy for Commander Aetherdrift decks that lean into graveyard value.
