Praetor Black (EDH / Commander)

I made 5 decks of my favorite antagonists in the magic storyline, The Praetors of New Phyrexia, each deck is a commander deck for each one of the Praetors and is meant to be played against the 4 other decks in a friendly casual 5-way game, you can find the other 4 decks on my profile, when creating these decks I tried to keep the power levels balanced between them and to make sure that all 5 decks are both competitive and fun to play with and against, each deck has an alternative win condition but they are not always the main strategy.

the black deck is a reanimation deck that is meant to get creatures in our graveyard so we can cheat them out with our reanimation spells and Sheoldred while destroying our opponent's big creatures especially in the green and red decks.
if you have urborg, tomb of yawgmoth on board keep in mind that sheoldred, whispering one is now unblockable by any player which opens up the opportunity to win via commander damage.
I would suggest not using your reanimation spells unless you have to or if you are at the very early stages of the game because of white's numerous swipers and blue's counterspells but if you can generate enough mana to hard cast our big creatures or if you are sure you got the game on lockdown you can go as wide as you want for tons of damage.
I put some cards in this deck for specific occasions and so it is important not to waste them, for example, our reanimation spells as I mentioned before.
crux of fate is meant not just for tempo gain but also as a way to make sure that in case the red deck (dragons) is getting out of control to knock it back down to an even playing field.
don't play crucible of worlds unless you have a lake of the dead or if white's land combo is no longer active.
sudden spoiling is meant to be cast if green's big infect creatures are attacking you or as a combat trick to pick off important creatures.
puppeteer clique is part of a 3 piece infinite combo with mikaeus, the unhallowed and either ashno's altar or phyrexian altar, it works like this, on the board you have one of the altars and mikaeus, you play puppeteer and put one dead creature from any graveyard on your side of the board, you sacrifice puppeteer clique to the altar gaining mana and two triggers will go on the stack one is the persist trigger and the other, because puppeteer clique isn't a human, is the undying trigger you pick one and puppeteer clique comes back taking another creature from any graveyard and netting you more mana, you sacrifice puppeteer again picking the other trigger this time, keep doing this until you got all of the creatures in all graveyard and because they all have haste you can attack for the win in one of the most brutal and metal ways I know, additionally you can also generate infinite mana and just cast your entire deck, if you have blood artist on board or graveyard you can also deal infinite damage and gain infinite life, same with soul warden.
the best early game scenario is getting a good hand with entomb and reanimate then entombing either wurmcoil engine or lord of the void, choose and reanimate wurmcoil engine if you want life gain or choose lord of the void for early game damage and trying to pick off key parts of the other decks and some early board presence.

I hope you enjoy playing this deck and the others and remember to have fun while doing so.
