I wanted to make something destructive, controlling and mean using some of my favorite, black cards I've gathered since I started playing, almost a year ago. The deck utilizes lots of card draw and life gain to tutor powerful creatures and combos like Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond to finish enemies, and Painful Quandary + Waste Not along with some discard to control.

The deck has not been play tested, but I'm about to order soon. I would love to hear your opinion on cuts and replacements, as I am not very experienced in creating commander decks.

Budget is pretty tight as I already need to order land base, commander and several of the "expensive" staples
