This is an older deck of mine I am resurrecting. Please make sure to check the decklist before telling me how Phage kills me if I cast her from the command zone. She does, it's just we can play around that.

This deck mostly focuses on controlling the board long enough to resolve Phage in a one-hit-punch finisher. We have to make a lot of mana, make sure she doesn't kill us, and usually, give her some protection or way to get to our opponent. All of this can be disrupted and blown up in our faces, so if you're looking for a hyper-competitive commander. Well, I mean, c'mon. It's not like mono-Black is wanting for strong commanders. :)

Our back-up-plan to our Phage Punch is good old life drain and the cards listed as "combo". Nothing too crazy there. Just reliable pieces, even when not put together.

"Swat" is kinda in here for style points. There's better removal out there after all. But c'mon. You know you'd add a card if it had your commander slapping someone. :P
