What is the lowest CMC, combo in black/colorless that can win a 4 player commander game?

example: Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion CMC=12. There must be something cheaper!

It really only needs one turn cycle though, in a 4 player pod. Nobody really kills Bloodcheif the turn its played if you dont have Mindcrank out

Bloodrite Invoker needs 339 mana to seal the deal, but the converted mana cost is just 3, and that's what you wanted, right?

well I still need to factor in the CMC of the cards giving me the 339 mana. But he is a solid backup for Exsanguinate + infinite.

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth + Cabal Coffers + Vesuva copying Coffers + Thespian's Stage copying Coffers + Deserted Temple + 66 basic swamps will get you to 342 mana, and all those cards have CMC 0.
