Sac small creatures, things proc, bounce them back, get paid.

Shirei, Shizo's Caretaker makes her own engine very quickly. Get her out, get her protected, get to sacing your lambs to big effects.

I've been playing and tuning this deck pretty regularly, the goal is something stronger than a battle cruiser but not a "75% win-rate" deck. It's just too expensive to be highly competitive in commander as mono-black.

For those looking to emulate: you can cut the budget way down on this by removing the legendary lands.
