Commander: Arnyn, Deathbloom Botanist

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Mono-black aristocrats built around Arnyn, Deathbloom Botanist: the deck creates small creatures and 1/1 tokens, then drains the table through Arnyn, Bastion of Remembrance, and Syr Konrad. It develops with Bitterblossom, Ophiomancer, and Black Market Connections, accelerates death triggers with Heartless Summoning, and finishes by sacrificing a 13+ creature board to Blasphemous Edict or by using Sephiroth's transformed emblem and Living Death recursion. Shirei and Heartless Summoning turn every cheap creature into a repeating death trigger. There is no true infinite combo; wins are mass-sacrifice turns or long grinds. Sephiroth serves as a hidden transform finisher, while Arnyn is an early, efficient drain engine.
