Shizo's Caretaker by cledetjr1

Format: Commander

Commander: Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a mono-black aristocrats engine built around Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker. Shirei is the reusable hub: any 1-power creature that dies can return at end step, turning every small sacrifice into a recurring trigger. The primary plan is to loop those creatures through free sac outlets while global drainers-Zulaport Cutthroat, Bastion of Remembrance, The Meathook Massacre, and the hidden commander Syr Konrad-convert each death into damage. Gray Merchant of Asphodel is the burst finisher, amplified by Cabal Coffers, Crypt Ghast, and Black Market. Bolas's Citadel supplies card advantage and an alternate finish. The deck is resilient but has no counterspells and is vulnerable to graveyard hate.
