Yes, Probably My Fave by SpagNoodle

Format: Commander

Commander: Arvinox, the Mind Flail

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Arvinox, the Mind Flail is the headline engine: this mono-black theft-and-reanimation deck exiles opponents' cards and casts their permanents while assembling three non-owned permanents so Arvinox becomes a 9/9. There is no hidden commander. The primary plan is ramping into Arvinox and stealing the table's threats; the secondary plan is Gray Merchant of Asphodel recursion and Grave Betrayal- or Gisa-driven board combat. Xander's Pact and Ghouls' Night Out provide burst theft, while Gonti and Brainstealer Dragon generate sustained value. The deck closes through commander damage from Arvinox and a high-devotion drain rather than through a compact combo.
