My Chainer study begins

Hello boys and girls, before getting started with some Chainer experiments I would like to make some statements:

  • English is not my main language so please excuse me if this will not be all that fluent.
  • I'm kind of new to EDH, I've just been playing for a year or so. I've played MTG when I was younger, but then I dropped it for almost 12 years.
  • I've been playing EDH in a very casual way, with very budget decks, and with groups where having fun is more important than winning. Then, some weeks ago, a friend of mine invited me to a table that was on a whole other level both in competition and deck optimization. I got crushed, which is totally fine, but what I've liked about the experience was the more serious and competitive atmosphere (the guys are super chilled and fun, but you know what I mean). So I decided to try building a more optimized deck.
  • I decided to go monoblack because I already had some good cards (especially from a land point of view) and I had two main commander options: Chainer, Dementia Master and Yawgmoth, Thran Physician. In the end, I've chosen Chainer, Dementia Master because he is way more interactive IMO.
  • The deck isn't finished and hasn't been tested. I should be able to finish it up with 100$ and I tried to use the cards I already have (I'm looking at you Attrition). Those cards, especially regarding the tutor part the deck, are not the best choice possible, but are the choice I can afford to make right now.
  • This deck has taken tons of inspiration from some other lists and especially from all the amazing information written by the authors of those decks. So thank you very much. Here you can find the decks: [Primer] Nightmare by Design, Naked Lunch, Madness, At Any Cost., Marquis De Chainer, Sadism 101, deck:04-03-19-chain, Chainer Suicide Master. Also, big ups to Yawg Daddy **PRIMER** [Heavily Play Tested] which has an incredible primer too.

I loved how Cyfearix has interpreted Chainer, Dementia Master in his [Primer] Nightmare by Design deck and I wanted to thank him specifically because his primer was what really convinced me in making this deck, especially the Library of Leng part!

I really hope you guy will like the deck and, please, give me suggestions as this is still a WIP and I'm not all that experienced in EDH at this level.

Updates Add

Hello boys and girls! I decided to add a group of three cards that in my opinion can be somehow good together. The main point is actually spending life like crazy without really caring all that much about the consequences.

Let me know what you think!
