I wanted to build a monoblack deck that wasn't based on a predictable commander, which lead me to notice that a number of black legends are actually Spirits. Then I chose Iname as my Commander and built a deck around playing him, filling the graveyard with spirits, and then mass reanimating them FTW.

Currently the idea is to play creatures and clear the board with mass removal in order to stay alive as you build up enough mana to play Iname and take advantage of it in the same turn. That would involve going for a Mortal Combat win, casting a mass reanimation spell directly after Iname, or attacking in with an evasive creature and then killing an opponent with either Ghoul's Feast or Soulshriek right after you cast Iname. Gray Merchant wins are also a possibility.

A bit of a glass cannon of a deck, I think, but it'll be sweet memeing just casting Iname. Enjoy!
