It's about time for my NINTH commander!

This deck went through a couple of different commanders: In my urge to create a monoblack EDH the first one I tried was Virtus the Veiled for 1v1 Duel Commander. It worked, but I quickly got tired with the format. Then I changed to a multiplayer discard deck and considered Urgoros, the Empty One as general, but it seemed too slow. Then I've found out about Geth, Lord of the Vault and Geth's Grimoire, and it was perfect!

Except that I never managed to like Geth, and despite the deck was working out and winning, everytime I drew Kokusho from the deck I was like "Man, I like everything about this card! I wish he was my commander..."

And now he is! I completely removed the discard theme and went with sacrificing and reviving Kokusho (he must go to the graveyard in order to work).

He's my preferred deck to play huge annoying 5+ players table. Just Blade of Selves him and kill the entire table with the legend rule. xD

Hope you liked it, upvote for MONO{B}!
