Face Stealer by SatisfiedYeti

Format: Commander

Commander: Koh, the Face Stealer

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Koh, the Face Stealer leads a mono-black value-control deck that wins by turning black mana into life drain. The primary plan is land acceleration into a huge Exsanguinate or Torment of Hailfire, supported by Crypt Ghast, Nirkana Revenant, Cabal Coffers, and Urborg. Secondary paths are aristocrat drain through Blood Artist, Zulaport Cutthroat, Bastion of Remembrance, and Meathook Massacre, plus Gray Merchant devotion. Koh's role is flexible: it exiles opposing creatures, and with K'rrik and Asmodeus it becomes a draw-seven engine that fuels the X-spell finishers. There is no hidden commander; K'rrik is a powerful supporting engine, not the face of the deck.
