The Best Deck for these cards?

Commander Deck Help forum

Posted on Aug. 16, 2015, 10:40 a.m. by Phaetion

A couple months back, I acquired Nether Void, Chains of Mephistopheles, and The Abyss for the purpose of completing a mono-black commander box. Unfortunately, it was retired because the same cards made their way into the deck every time and it got boring.

Now these 3 do not have a home, and I want to make good use of them. So, the question is: What is the best deck that can accommodate all three cards?

A stax deck that plays black. Golgari or Mardu or something.

The first two tell me that you do not want to play control. Period. At the same time, the third one tells me that you don't want to play aggro, but I think that it is actually only good against decks that don't generate lots of tokens, so I would say a mono-black token aggro deck.

The best mono-black token generals are Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder, Ghoulcaller Gisa, and Marrow-Gnawer. Here are three backbone decks for each of them:

Also, if you decide you like one of these decks, you can round off their edges and add versatility to them with the lists of staple effects on my profile page. :)

Nekusar, the Mindrazer would be great for the first two, and Oona, Queen of the Fae would be good for all three of them.

Well, I think I found my answer almost immediately. I'll just go ahead and rebuild Gisa, and adding the three in there.
