The Usual Suspects by Crimeboss

Format: Commander

Commander: Razaketh, the Foulblooded

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a mono-black midrange/value deck helmed by Razaketh, the Foulblooded, a 7-drop commander that turns any other creature into a repeatable tutor. The deck generates a steady stream of tokens (Zombies, Skeletons, Clues) via death triggers and the "crime" mechanic, then sacrifices them to Razaketh to find whichever piece is needed-a board wipe, a reanimation spell, or a finisher like Grievous Wound. The primary win path is commander damage from Razaketh's 8/8 flying trample body, accelerated by life loss effects and mass recursion that rebuilds the board after wipes. The deck lacks a deterministic infinite combo, relying instead on incremental advantage and layered recursion to outlast opponents. The graveyard is a critical resource, with nearly a third of the nonland deck depending on it, making the deck vulnerable to dedicated hate pieces.
