Deck overview

This is a mono-black combo-control deck helmed by Baron Helmut Zemo, built to exploit his boast ability-exiling high-CMC black spells from the graveyard and copying them for free. The primary win condition is the Gravecrawler + Carrion Feeder + Phyrexian Altar or Blasting Station infinite loop, which generates infinite death triggers, mana, or damage. Secondary lines include Doomsday Excruciator or Leveler emptying the library, then activating Doctor Doom, Unrivaled for an instant win, or using Zemo's boast to chain multiple expensive spells like Rise of the Dark Realms or Baneful Omen. The deck accelerates with rituals (Dark Ritual, Cabal Ritual, Culling the Weak), mana rocks (Sol Ring, Mana Vault, Grim Monolith), and land-based mana doublers (Cabal Coffers, Crypt Ghast). A dense tutor suite ensures consistent access to combo pieces, while Conqueror's Flail protects the winning turn.
