This is my next attempt at a commander deck that I actually want to build, I love black, it's one of my favorite colors for commander and I feel like it has so much to utilize and Geth is one of those utilities.

I'd love ALL input and help, I'd like to make this a fun and competitive deck.

The breakdown:

Sorceries: Tutors: Demonic Tutor Diabolic Revelation Beseech the Queen Diabolic Tutor Increasing Ambition Simple things, everyone knows what they do!

Board Wipes: Black Sun's Zenith Crux of Fate Decree of Pain Extinguish All Hope In Garruk's Wake

Giant X mana spells: Consume Spirit Dregs of Sorrow Exsanguinate Mind Shatter Mind Twist Profane Command

Others: Blood Tribute A combo piece. Dimir Machinations because screw everyone who searches and places on top of their deck. Nightmare Incursion to beat other combo decks. Promise of Power is just good. Sadistic Sacrament Temporal Extortion is another combo piece.

Enchantments: Bloodchief Ascension just a great one drop. Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond great combo. Leyline of the Void hurts my commander but is still really good. Oppression super good and able to make people think about casting spells, same thing with Painful Quandary. Palace Siege is really nice for commander imo. The life gain is awesome. Underworld Dreams really great card and gives amazing devotion.

Artifacts: Altar of Dementia, take their creature, sac it, take it again. Woo! Geth! Mana artifacts: Armillary Sphere Caged Sun Charcoal Diamond Darksteel Ingot Gilded Lotus Mind Stone Sol Ring Thran Dynamo Worn Powerstone. Umbral Mantle is a combo piece combined with Magus of the Coffers.

Land: Swamp, because I need swamps. Cabal Coffers Amazing land. Everglades taps for 2, winning. Ghost Quarter screw your mana. Myriad Landscape grab some more mana. Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx Mono black, devotion, lots of mana. GG. Reliquary Tower because duh. Temple of the False God taps for 2. Terrain Generator paired with Liliana of the Dark Realms is great. And finally Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth is just great.

Instants: Dark Ritual, start turn 1 off right. Kill spells: Doom Blade Geth's Verdict Hero's Downfall Murderous Cut Silence the Believers

Creatures: Burnished Hart sac for more land. Butcher of Malakir wonderful effect. Crypt Ghast staple in this deck. Gray Merchant of Asphodel also a staple. Helldozer land hate and great devotion. Magus of the Coffers infinite combo piece, lots of mana. Necrotic Ooze more mana combos with Palladium Myr and Pili-Pala. Pestilence Demon dumps mana. Sangromancer awesome card right here. Vampire Hexmage planeswalker hate.

Planewalkers: Liliana of the Dark Realms wonderful planeswalker, gets me a bunch of swamps and a badass ultimate. Liliana Vess tutor for days and another great ultimate. Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath is a great planeswalker too.

Infinite or amazing combos: Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond game winner. Blood Tribute + Sanguine Bond Magus of the Coffers + Umbral Mantle 5 swamps = infinite +2/+2, 6 swamps = infinite mana. Necrotic Ooze + Palladium Myr + Pili-Pala infinite mana when Palladium Myr and Pili-Pala are in the graveyard.

I really want to get Deserted Temple to combine with Cabal Coffers or Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. Also want Black Market eventually and Wound Reflection for another combo piece.
