A classic approach of an infect Commander deck with Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon as the general. Only 10 poison counters to win, you can poke early with your small infect critters then smash them with the mighty Blight Dragon. Lots of mono-colour ramp and destroy, as you don't want to lack mana for Blightsteel Colossus or anything mean. The most expensive cards are Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth , Cabal Coffers and Phyrexian Obliterator for the lol. Honorable mention to Inkmoth Nexus and Phyrexian Crusader as the great cards in the deck. Really fun, but lots of hate from your opponents in multiplayer. Anyway, if you have like Infect, try Damia, Sage of Stone , The Mimeoplasm , Glissa, the Traitor or Rafiq of the Many as general for Proliferate, Double Strike or more different colours and effects. For a good ol' one-shot in other black decks, try Tainted Strike too. ;)

Main EDH deck : any help is welcome!

P.S. I don't run Hatred / Howl from Beyond because the deck is already über-powerful 1v1 and I don't like old card frames. And my friends are about to raise poison. No mana denial too.
