Hello, my fellow friends! I shall introduce you to my all-time fav commander, EREBOS!

Why is Erebos my favorite? He is a four drop, indestructible, forbids life gain for your opponents, draws cards. What else do you need? I like calling this deck black deck control with Imp's Mischief + a lot of board wipes and controlling the board with Lethal Vapors or Spreading Plague or Pestilence since enchantments are the most difficult permanents to get rid of.

Cheap single target destroys Slaughter Pact / Snuff Out / Defile

Although this deck is able to compete with other decks, it has no means to remove artifacts and enchantments. I had always been able to play around it, might later add some removals like Scour from Existence or so.

The main strategy is to generate an enormous amount of mana and finish your opponents with Exsanguinate or Consume Spirit with a support of cards that help you suck your opponent's life total.

Win cons:

1) Aetherflux Reservoir

2) Exsanguinate

3) Wound Reflection

4) Torment of Hailfire

5) Price of Knowledge

Combo: Lethal Vapors + Pithing Needle

Dreadhorde Invasion + Contamination
