The Scarab God is a prominent figure in the Magic: The Gathering storyline, representing one of the three God-Pharaohs from the Amonkhet set. With an imposing and resilient presence on the battlefield, this deity combines the powers of blue and black mana to manipulate the dead, turning them into formidable zombie servants. The Scarab God's unique abilities not only reinforce zombie tribal strategies but also offer ways to disrupt opponents' graveyards while benefiting the controller with scry and life loss effects. This card stands out in decks that leverage the undead, but its versatility also allows it to be a powerhouse in various Commander and other formats. Lius Lasahido's artwork depicts this deity with grandeur and menace, capturing its divine and malevolent nature.
