Standard mono-black deck around Ihsan's Shade using the Command Zone deck building guide. I've really liked Ihsan's Shade ever since I started playing magic and wanted to make an EDH deck with him as the commander even though he can't really contribute much beyond being a big guy. It has a few ways to win, standard beatdown with big flyers, slowly whittling down opponents life totals while using wipes and recursion to out attrition them, aristocrat combos using Ashnod's Altar , big mana spells like Exsanguinate , and if needed commander damage supported by the equipment. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
