Sephiroth, Fabled Soldier by AbleNight33

Format: Commander

Commander: Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER // Sephiroth, One-Winged Angel

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a mono-black aristocrats combo deck built around Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER as a sacrifice-value engine. The front face draws cards on entry/attack and drains whenever another creature dies; resolving four death triggers in a turn transforms it into One-Winged Angel, whose emblem turns every death into drain and whose attack sacrifices any number of creatures to draw. The primary win is an infinite death loop: a mana-positive sacrifice outlet (Ashnod's Altar, Phyrexian Altar, Warren Soultrader) plus a recursive creature (Forsaken Miner, Gravecrawler, Nether Traitor, Reassembling Skeleton) plus a drain trigger. Secondary paths are big-mana Torment of Hailfire, Bolas's Citadel activations, and the hidden commander Zenos yae Galvus // Shinryu, Transcendent Rival, which can win the game once its chosen creature leaves the battlefield.
