INAME, DEATH ASPECT (EDH / Commander)

COMBO DECK - POWER 8/9

Play INAME, DEATH ASPECT as soon as possible, then you have multiple ways to make a lot of mana :
CABAL COFFERS, URBORG, THESPIAN STAGE, VESUVA, LAKE OF THE DEAD, CRYPT OF AGADEEM for the lands.
BUBBLING MUCK, CULLING THE WEAK, DARK RITUAL, CABAL RITUAL, BLOOD PET.
You can sacrifice INAME DEATH ASPECT for 6B on SOLDEVI ADNATE.
The best Mana spell of this deck is SONGS OF THE DAMNED.

Then, you have a ton of mana, you can use several play lines :

1/ Mass reanimation
2/ Gray Merchant (Total devotion 32) / Kokusho recursion
3/ Torment of Hailfire

1/ You have many reanimation spells, if you can reanimate your graveyard you'll have access to :

• Board control with KURO, PITLORD and HOROBI, DEATH'S WAIL (Pay 1 life to destroy a targeted creature)
• Thoughtseize effects with the unused mana and HE WHO HUNGERS.

This isn't a combo but you leave your opponents with no board state, no cards and you have an army of spirits.

An alternative version of this is the MASKWOOD NEXUS line, with it you can entomb GRAY MERCHANT OF ASPHODEL or BASAL SLIVER or SYR KONRAD THE GRIM.

2/ CHAINER, DEMENTIA MASTER can do infinite recursion of KOKUSHO, THE EVENING STAR or GRAY MERCHANT OF ASPHODEL. you need VISCERA SEER on board to achieve this combo.

3/ SONGS OF THE DAMNED + TORMENT OF HAILFIRE do the job very well.

Keep in mind that a lot of decks play Graveyard hate, and you play Mono Black. I f you want to all-in, be very careful with what your opponents can deal with.

Sometimes with a fast way to play MYOJIN OF NIGHT'S REACH, you can empty your opponents hands on turn 2/3.

I use a lot of cheap tutors ($) but the deck is very consistent, if you wanna up the average you can replace them with more efficient tutors like DT, etc...

MAUSOLEUM SECRETS and DARK PETITION are very strong in this deck. The best way to use DARK PETITION is after INAME, to get the missing card you need to win.

This is by far one of my favorite commander ever. Although the deck is very focused, you always have to feel the good play at the right time, be flexible on your win cons, a very interesting deck in my opinion.
