Commander: Syr Konrad, the Grim

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Syr Konrad, the Grim leads a mono-black attrition and graveyard-control deck that loops creatures to drain opponents while slowly stripping hands and resources. The primary plan is incremental death triggers from Syr Konrad combined with self-mill, discard, and cheap creature recursion. Secondary paths use Tree of Perdition plus Triskaidekaphobia, or infect-enable Syr Konrad's drain for a sudden lethal swing. The commander is the main engine and win condition; the deck packs tutors, mass discard, and mana doublers to accelerate its grind into a lethal finish.
