Best mono black Commander?
Deck Help forum
Posted on July 18, 2014, 4:05 a.m. by Death_The_Kid
So I am currently running a mono black EDH deck with Erebos, God of the Dead as my commander. Erebos is not bad I get nice card draw and I can shut off any life gain. Also it is not the type of card to get me targeted when it hits the board lol. So I wanna know based on my deck who do you think would be better than Erebos? Here is my deck
Black Death Party Playtest
Commander / EDH*

ps, I didnt look at your deck as its really late and I'm heading to bed, so I dont know how well he'd fit, but it shouldnt be hard to make any deck work with skittles.

Skittles is a good idea, I'm also a fan of Ob Nixilis, the Fallen

Be aware that this was created before gatecrash, so it doesn't list every option.

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed
is fun, gives recursion, and only needs like, two other cards to go infinite.

Sheoldred, Whispering One is probebly the best woman for the job. I just love her :) Even tho Balthor the Defiled poses an interesting version of it aswell. And here comes a few other "lesser" suggestions
Hope you find a fun general

Cao Cao, Lord of Wei or Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed are both very fun generals to play.
The new Ob Nixilis, Unshackled would be fun as well!

i'm not sure if i'm the only one that thinks this, but Chainer, Dementia Master can make for a pretty fun commander for black too.

I am thinking of running Ob Nixilis, Unshackled
I really love the card but I fee like I would be targeted hard lol i also like Chainer, Dementia Master
because it has a really cool ability. I do enjoy erebos but I wanna test or play around with other commanders. If anything a lot of these cards can go in my 99 lol

to be honest all the listed commanders are in my Chainer deck. they work well with each other you should try it out.

If you want to go equipment voltron there is also Korlash, Heir to Blackblade . His first two powers are fantastic, a general that gets bigger as the game goes on. He combos really well with Liliana of the Dark Realms or any other land tutors. As far as equipment goes he just needs evasion, the Lashwrithe , Nightmare Lash , or Strata Scythe . I've won games without using Korlash, just with combat damage when one of my big fliers is equipped with one or more of them.

I think I figured out what kind of commander I am interested in. I want a commander that has nice abilities to interact with my deck. I never really plan to win by Commander damage I like the long matches EDH holds and I prefer fun games with interactions. I dont like Voltron decks that focus on a quick set up to smash and win. So idk what commanders are like that but Chainer, Dementia Master is something I would play I could have a lot of fun with it lol

I looked at all the the possible options, and these are what I found:
Maybe Toshiro Umezawa
Maybe even Oona, Queen of the Fae , since she only requires hybrid mana.

Balthor the Defiled + 45 Shadowborn Apostle 's + handful of epic demons = gg.

Skittles.
Also known as Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon .
Since, in Commander, infect still only takes ten points of damage to win.
