Archetypes

Aristocrats — Hogaak provides infinite recurring fodder for sacrifice outlets and death-trigger payoffs.
Reanimator — The self-mill engine that fuels Hogaak also dumps fat threats to reanimate cheaply.
Graveyard Midrange — Hogaak grinds out value as a free, recursive beater backed by graveyard recursion.
Combo — Sac-outlet plus self-mill plus drain payoff loops can generate near-infinite damage with Hogaak.

You can't spend mana to cast this spell.

Convoke, delve (Each creature you tap while casting this spell pays for {1} or one mana of that creature's color. Each card you exile from your graveyard pays for {1} .)

You may cast this card from your graveyard.

Trample

Hogaak fills the graveyard, then casts itself for free over and over using convoke and delve, acting as a recursive 8/8 trampler and a fodder engine for sacrifice and reanimator strategies. Early turns dump creatures into the bin via self-mill and discard, midgame loops Hogaak as a body or sac fodder, and late game grinds opponents out with attrition and incidental drain.

Commander that costs zero mana and recurs from the graveyard, dodging color-screw and providing a relentless body

Synergizes perfectly with self-mill, which fuels its own delve while filling reanimation targets

Resilient to spot removal and counterspells since it just comes back from the yard

Trample plus easy convoke/delve makes it both a beater and free sacrifice fodder for aristocrats

Heavily reliant on the graveyard, so Rest in Peace, Bojuka Bog, and Leyline of the Void shut it down hard

Wants creatures on board (convoke) or cards in yard (delve), making it weak through sweepers and empty boards

No evasion beyond trample and no built-in card advantage or protection

Can struggle to actually close games without a dedicated win package since the commander itself is just a vanilla-ish beater

Stitcher's Supplier

Mills six across its lifecycle, fueling delve and stocking the yard with creatures for convoke recursion.

Altar of Dementia

Sacrifice Hogaak to mill yourself, refill the yard, then recast Hogaak — a repeatable self-mill engine.

Recurs from the graveyard alongside Hogaak when you cast two creatures, giving redundant free bodies.

Free sac outlet that grows by eating Hogaak, enabling aristocrat loops and graveyard refueling.

Turns the endless creature sacrifice loops with Hogaak into a drain-based win condition.

Satyr Wayfinder

Digs for lands while dumping four cards to feed delve and find creatures to recur.

Add fast self-mill and dredge enablers (Golgari Grave-Troll, Hermit Druid, Stinkweed Imp) to consistently fuel delve and reanimation, plus free sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer and Phyrexian Altar to enable combo loops. Round out with graveyard hate of your own and protection like Bojuka Bog answers, and tutors (Buried Alive, Entomb, Demonic Tutor) to assemble the Blood Artist drain package faster.
