Commander: Ardyn, the Usurper

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Ardyn, the Usurper is a mono-black Demon-tribal commander who turns every graveyard into an assembly line: at the start of combat he exiles a creature card and makes a 5/5 flying Demon token copy with haste, while all Demons gain menace, lifelink, and haste. The deck uses that engine to grind out an overwhelming board while also packing black's classic mana-doubling drain finish. Reanimation and theft - Reanimate, Whip of Erebos, Incarnation Technique, Rakshasa Debaser - supply the bodies, and Crypt Ghast, Nirkana Revenant, Cabal Coffers, and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx turn swamps into a flood that fuels Exsanguinate and Torment of Hailfire. The cleanest kill is Bloodletter of Aclazotz doubling a kicked Scourge of the Skyclaves, and Liliana's Contract offers an alternate, non-combat win. It is a midrange value deck that can pivot between demon beatdown and one-shot table drain.
