Mono Black by Iskandar

Format: Commander

Commander: Moseo, Vein's New Dean

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

An aggressive mono-black lifegain/drain reanimator that wins by pairing Bloodthirsty Conqueror with either Marauding Blight-Priest or Starscape Cleric. Moseo supplies a recurring Pest token and an end-step reanimation ability, while a dense reanimation package (Reanimate, Dread Return, Zombify, Chainer) cheats expensive pieces into play. A secondary plan uses Gray Merchant or Psychosis Crawler plus mass draw to drain opponents. The deck is not a control list: it wants to turbo out a combo, but can pivot to midrange beatdown if the combo is disrupted.
