We all have that deck that just survives even though it isn’t the best. For me that’s [[Torgaar, Famine Incarnate]]. It’s not the best mono black commander in any way but its particular combination of effects to me is emblematic of mono black. It’s a bit of a swiss army knife and so I find myself hard pressed to really change anything about the core of the deck.
What’s your pet deck?
My oldest deck is [[Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait]] which has turned into a bit of a monster since I added a few cards that happen to create a bunch of ways to make infinite Landfall combos. It could probably be even stronger if I took out some of the high-cost sea monsters to focus just on Landfall, but I like big sea monsters.
After that my [[Gishath, Sun’s Avatar]] deck is pretty new, I just made it this year, but I already love it. Big dinos!
I built a [[Multani, Yavimaya’s Avatar]] $50 budget deck a number of years back that is just a mono green spell slinger build. It is pretty simple to play for new people and resilient enough to play with my normal group.
Being a budget deck I even run it unsleeved and get that nostalgia of playing kitchen table magic as a kid.
For me it’s anything with [[Stitcher’s Supplier]] in it. Right now I really love trying to make Dredge work in Historic and soon Pioneer.
E: didn’t see this was in Commander. That would be Kenrith, the Returned King 😛
