We all have that deck that just survives even though it isn’t the best. For me that’s [[Torgaar, Famine Incarnate]]. It’s not the best mono black commander in any way but its particular combination of effects to me is emblematic of mono black. It’s a bit of a swiss army knife and so I find myself hard pressed to really change anything about the core of the deck.
What’s your pet deck?
[[Trostani, Selesnya’s Voice]] and [[Queen Marchesa]] Long may she reign! These were two of the first decks I built by myself and countless decks have been built and taken apart since them and they’re still here and still get played.

Long may she reign! I can see the enduring appeal of those commanders. They both get everyone in on the action.
I hate when people durdle…I recently built a [[Kami of the Crescent Moon]] deck to force people to draw all their cards so we all have options and answers. I love sitting across from 3 people and we all have a grip of 20 cards, let’s make this game pop off!
That is why I like to run [[Forced Fruition]] in blue. By the time that normally hits it is like calling for turns when a round is lasting too long.

Ah but you see now instead of tanking on three cards in hand they’re all tanking on 30 cards in hand. The monkey’s paw curls!
That’s it! I’m getting my Mogis Group Slug deck…
