Since the card's initial printing in Commander 2015, Meren of Clan Nel Toth has been one of the premier options for those looking to build a graveyard-focused Commander deck. Hogaak excels when paired with self-milling effects, allowing it to reliably cast to keep putting pressure on your opponents. As Hogaak can even be cast from the graveyard, where you can reliably get around the need to pay commander tax. Luckily, creatures such as Satyr Wayfinder and Stitcher's Supplier are efficient means of milling yourself, and can serve as bodies on the board to enable Convoke. Instead, Hogaak has access to both convoke and delve, meaning your creatures and cards in your graveyard can be utilized to cast this sizable creature without the need for mana in the first place. While it technically costs seven mana to cast, mana can't be spent to play Hogaak.
When in play, Hogaak is an 8/8 with trample with no other relevant abilities – while this may sound rather straightforward and underwhelming, Hogaak's strength lies in the manner in which you can cast it. Though primarily known for its dominant run and subsequent banning in Modern, Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis is an impressive creature that can serve as a powerful Golgari (green/black) graveyard commander.
