Gonti, group theft by user5970399

Format: Commander

Commander: Gonti, Night Minister

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This mono-black theft deck is built around Gonti, Night Minister: every cast-from-exile spell makes a Treasure, while any combat damage to opponents exiles playable cards. Evasive low-drops (shadow/unblockable) plus Rev, Tithe Extractor and Grim Hireling turn attacks into an exile-and-treasure engine. The deck wins by burying opponents under stolen cards, breaking board parity with Blood Money/Heartless Conscription, and converting token generation into life loss with Mirkwood Bats. It is a value-control list, not a combo deck; Gonti is the engine, and Rev acts as a hidden commander. Plan B is reanimation via Meathook Massacre II and Staff of Eden. Repeated Gonti triggers also encourage the table to hand you more cards, and the wipe package doubles as mana generation.
