Why Play Syr Konrad, the Grim

Konrad excels in creature-heavy metas and graveyard-focused strategies where his triggered ability creates consistent damage output without requiring additional mana investment. His versatility shines in multiplayer formats where creature deaths are frequent, allowing you to capitalize on opponents' board wipes and combat trades. The built-in mill ability provides both card selection and additional damage triggers when creature cards hit graveyards, making him a reliable win condition in longer games.

Format Notes

Commander represents Konrad's strongest format, where his ability to damage all opponents simultaneously and the multiplayer environment's abundant creature deaths make him a popular inclusion in sacrifice and aristocrats strategies. In 60-card formats like Pioneer and Modern, he sees occasional play in fringe mill or self-mill decks but lacks the speed for competitive play. His budget-friendly price point makes him accessible for casual constructed formats where his incremental damage can close out games.

Combos & Synergies

Altar of Dementia creates a powerful engine where sacrificing creatures mills cards and triggers Konrad twice - once for the death and again for any creatures milled. Phyrexian Altar and other sacrifice outlets provide repeatable ways to convert creatures into damage while generating mana. Haunted Crossroads allows you to repeatedly put creature cards from your graveyard back on top of your library, then mill them again for continuous damage triggers.
