Title: Best mono black commander
Post by: Agrajagzz9 on February 14, 2014, 11:17:11 AM
 {Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief}
Or
{Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed}
Or
{Chainer, Dementia Master}

Thoughts?

Personally I like Chainer, but that may just be a personal choice because I like renimator.

No love for {Korlash! Heir to Blackblade}?

 {Erebos, God of the Dead} because he keeps oppenets from gaining life and he has card advantage

I absolutely love Korlash! But I found when I played with him as a Commander I hardly ever even cast him.

I use {Nefarox, Overlord Of Grixis}. I like him, and people hardly ever play him, so they don't remove him, constantly.

Xiahou Dun is powerful actually. Horsemanship is so rare it's basically an unblockable commander, easy to Voltron and Reanimate

Guys... {Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon} followed by that horsemanship guy.

Horsemanship

Guys, guys  {Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni} is such a killer Commander.

Post by: FustyDavorite on February 15, 2014, 10:47:16 AM
Okay, maybe ink eyes isn't as great as I was thinking as a commander, but in all reality I love  {Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief}

Agh! I hate Skittles, Infect is too OP in EDH.

Even @ 15 or 20 infect :)

How about {Ob Nixilis, the fallen} or maybe {Hythonia the cruel}

Idk drana and chainer and xiahou fun are just so powerful all on their own. The land fall guy is good but hard to abuse. Drana it seems easy

Posting my Skittles list, the infect DMG is pretty unfair

I second the vote for Erebos. He is big, indestructible, stops lifegain and generates card advantage. Not to mention he is pretty cheap, so even if he is removed its easy to recast.
Title: Re: Best mono black commander
Post by: Agrajagzz9 on February 16, 2014, 11:35:50 PM
My biggest thing against Erebos is that sure e draws cards but he, by himself does not impact the game. I am doubly a slave to his abilities in that I need devotion to attack and life to draw cards. I just foresee him being worse that xiahou dub or drana who can have an uneducated impact and don't have such restrictions

That's why I'm saying ob nixilis is your friend. You're probably dropping one land per turn so the opponent is getting constantly hit and he's getting constantly bigger it's a win win
