I had wanted to build a mono-black Commander deck for a while, and Volrath the Fallen is by far my favorite Legendary Black creature. After playing it for a while, it quickly shot up to being one of my best and strongest Commander decks. Though it's mostly a "Mono-Black Goodstuff" build, it still has plenty of my own weird personal twists.

Before anyone says anything: Snow-Covered Swamps are because I just happened to have a bunch of them laying around. And who knows, maybe someday I'll want to add Drift of the Dead or Withering Wisps to the deck (don't worry, I won't...maybe...).
