Deck overview

This deck is a Grixis Demon Tribal Midrange build commander by Be'lakor, the Dark Master. The primary game plan focuses on deploying efficient artifact acceleration and cost-reducers during the opening turns to cast Be'lakor on Turn 5. Once Be'lakor enters the battlefield, it immediately refills the hand based on your Demon count and weaponizes every subsequent Demon entry into direct-damage burn. The deck transitions into a rapid closing window on Turn 6 by chaining high-impact Demons, extra combats via Bloodthirster, and damage multipliers like Bloodletter of Aclazotz and Archfiend of Despair. A specialized package of 1-mana 'undying' instants (Feign Death, Not Dead After All) shields key creatures from removal while double-dipping on enter-the-battlefield triggers. Supported by flexible reanimation and solid removal, the deck delivers overwhelming aerial combat damage and direct burn to systematically close out the table by Turn 8.
