Commander: Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose leads a mono-black life-drain deck that converts every life-gain trigger into an opponent life-loss clock. The primary plan is a two-piece combo: one "gain-life causes opponents to lose life" piece (Vito or Marauding Blight-Priest) plus one "opponent loses life causes you to gain life" piece (Exquisite Blood or Bloodthirsty Conqueror), started by any drain or lifelink attack. Secondary paths are Blood Artist/Zulaport death-drain and a big-mana Exsanguinate/Torment finish powered by Black Market. There is no hidden commander; Aclazotz is a powerful value and recursion tool rather than a build-around.
