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?

    One of the things that it’s really good for, too, is that it forces you to pay attention to your sequencing. Because the effect is on cast, it puts the trigger on the stack before the spell you’re casting resolves. So if you do something like arcane Signet>Seething Song> Infuriate, the trigger goes off before you can pump yourself with Infuriate. So you need to play games with the stack and hold priority to get things to land where you need them to.
