Braiding Your Butt Hair by TsulKalu

Format: Commander

Commander: Braids, Cabal Minion

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This mono-black aristocrat deck uses Braids, Cabal Minion as a global sacrifice tax while generating a steady stream of tokens to feed it. Bitterblossom, Ophiomancer, Jadar, and Cryptbreaker supply fodder, and every death triggers drain effects such as Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, Bastion of Remembrance, and Ayara, First of Locthwain. The primary kill is the Sanguine Bond/Exquisite Blood infinite life-drain loop, assembled with premium tutors and protected by recursion. Secondary lines include Torment of Hailfire from Cabal Coffers or Nykthos, Revel in Riches treasure generation, and zombie beatdown. Kuon, Ogre Ascendant acts as a hidden commander; the deck wants its flipped form, Kuon's Essence, to double a Braids-style upkeep sacrifice effect.
