Scorpion God as Commander

The bulk of creatures cause Wither, when combined with Cauldron of Souls and Mikaeus, the Unhallowed creatures return to the battlefield for free with a loop of counter checks all while knocking down enemy creatures with -1/-1 counters.

There is plenty of -1/-1 counter spread using Archfiend of Ifnir, The Scorpion God, Lockjaw Snapper, Contagion Clasp, Contagion Engine, Black Sun's Zenith, Incremental Blight, Grim Affliction and Blowfly Infestation. The combination of Kulrath Knight and any of these spells can stop opponents in their tracks.

Combos;

Archfiend of Ifnir + Oblivion Crown

The Scorpion God and Blowfly Infestation + Nest of Scarabs, Warstorm Surge or Butcher of Malakir also fit into this combo.

Soul-Scar Mage along with a Isochron Scepter and an instant such as Lightning Bolt

Black Sun's Zenith + Necroskitter for a quick mass creature steal.

With a few more tricks in this deck it is well equipped to control the board no matter how large the opposing force.
