It naturally gets stronger as the game continues. Korlash, Heir to Blackblade is a nice choice for a commander when dealing commander damage is your strategy. Cards like Nightmare and Squelching Leeches have the same effect as Korlash, so while they won’t dish out commander damage, they can be good substitutes if your commander is getting expensive to recast. I also wanted to include other cards that benefit from the number of Swamps you have. Since you want lots of Swamps on the field, I also made sure to include a few more lands than I usually might. Sword of the Animist works especially well with your combat heavy strategy. There aren’t as many options as there might be in a multicolor deck, I think there’s still enough options for it to work. I also included cards that can help you find more Swamps.
Blackblade Reforged was an obvious choice, and it’s nice to see a big flavor win like that when it comes to pairing lore and mechanics together. The point of this deck is getting Korlash as big as possible, so I’ve included a lot of equipment that can help with that. If you’re looking for a different type of mono-black deck, I recommend giving this build a try! It can be very satisfying to win a game just by equipping your commander with the right tools and swinging for lots of damage. This is by no means the most competitive Commander deck, but it’s the kind of deck that’s lots of fun when it’s doing what it’s meant to. Instead of building in a combo of some sort, this deck’s win condition is either just normal damage or commander damage. With that goal in mind, I decided to build a deck around Korlash, Heir to Blackblade.
To avoid proliferating this issue, I wanted to avoid using the same tired combos or relying too heavily on tutors to set up plays when I set out to create a mono-black deck. While this makes mono-black a very good choice for a Commander build, it can also have the downside of making many of these decks feel the same. There are lots of ways to set up powerful moves, and one mono-black commander ( Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose) can even form a two-card game-winning combo.
