Commander Spellbook ↗How it works
Before you start
You control any number of creatures that don't have summoning sickness.
Steps
Activate a creature you control by tapping it, causing a player to mill cards equal to that creature's toughness. If a creature card was milled this way, Zellix triggers, creating a 1/1 Horror creature token. If a Horror entered, Intruder Alarm triggers, untapping all creatures. Repeat.
Combo data from Commander Spellbook. Only combos of 2 or 3 named cards are listed.
