ups, all shadowborn apostel by Junkman122

Format: Commander

Commander: Taborax, Hope's Demise

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Taborax, Hope's Demise leads a mono-black Shadowborn Apostle deck. Shadowborn Apostle is the de facto hidden commander: the deck floods the board with 1/1 Clerics, turns six of them into a Demon, and then closes with Liliana's Contract. Taborax is a cheap command-zone draw engine that replaces every Cleric death, fueling Skullclamp, Village Rites, and Ashnod's Altar loops. Thrumming Stone and Secret Salvage are the two explosive multipliers. Secondary paths are Demon beatdown, Archfiend of Despair and Bloodletter of Aclazotz life-loss pressure, and Sower of Discord mirror damage. The commander accelerates but is not essential; the Cleric engine can function without her.
