This is one of my casual Commander decks. The idea is to abuse Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief's ability to maker her a hard hitting voltron general who can clear a path and buff herself all in one move.

The deck also has a few fallbacks depending on how the game is going and what kind of victory I want to achieve. I can either:

• Deal 21 Commander Damage to each opponent using Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief
• Assemble Rings of Brighthearth + Basalt Monolith or Rings of Brighthearth + Cabal Coffers + Deserted Temple to produce infinite mana for Exsanguinate
• Throw down with big beaters such as Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger, Wurmcoil Engine, Steel Hellkite, etc.

Feedback is important. I'd love to know what you think, whether you like it or how I could make the deck better (keeping in mind this is designed for casual play). And as per usual, if you like the deck, show your support with an upvote!
