Back before the release of Anje Falkenrath in commander, I knew K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth would be my B mono color commander. The deck revolves around his ability to abuse life for mana. It's been updated throughout the years and good enough to not be thrown in the trash after losing. (but now highly considering it after PM, LOL) ;)

This Krri'k deck consists of strong-goodstuff, mana-cheating, fun & unfun but surprising interactions, life gain/drain, artifact love, Landlord God, oddly smooth recursion & draw, and tutors to go for infinite BS combos to end the game early. Hey who can blame me, it's the commander, it's abusive.

The way I think about this deck's game-play is in stages; primarily to get to 4 colorless mana to cast K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth, then to assemble the combo-pieces, and finally to finish them Mortal Kombat Style.

The deck wins in a few ways:

1. It's beater spells like, Temporal Extortion, Peer into the Abyss, Torment of Hailfire, and Profane Transfusion to seal away someone's fate.
2. It's mean creatures like, Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, Vilis, Broker of Blood, Guardian Beast, Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Syr Konrad, the Grim
3. It's combo finishers; the specific line is: Doomsday into whatever two-card-infinite combo you please in B. There's a bunch of tutors to help smooth things out. Combo's Below

Some keynotes about the deck:

1. It's 8 instants (more coming) will help react to crap being tossed your way. Imp's Mischief, Sudden Spoiling, Oblivion's Hunger, & Withering Boon are some of my favs. Plus, Emergence Zone makes all the permanents go burr for that needed reaction.
2. Life-gain pieces such as Basilica Screecher, Prism Ring, Demon's Horn, Aetherflux Reservoir, Polluted Bonds, & Diamond Mare, Bloodchief Ascension helps balance your life total throughout the game.
3. Punishing cards like; Font of Agonies, Phyrexian Obliterator, No Mercy, Dread, Temporal Extortion, Vilis, Broker of Blood, etc, can get a lot of heat off of the commander and dish it out similarly.
4. Landlord deck with Cabal Coffers, Homeward Path, Lake of the Dead, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, Shizo, Death's Storehouse, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, & Wasteland, has Expedition Map for finding the right land, and Crucible of Worlds/Petrified Field for good land recursion.
5. It's all about mana cards & mana efficiency like; Crypt Ghast, Jet Medallion, Jeweled Lotus, Nirkana Revenant, Bubbling Muck, Dark Ritual
6. Tutor for a tutor... like; Diabolic Tutor, Dark Petition, Demonic Tutor, Grim Tutor, Mastermind's Acquisition, Imperial Seal, Rune-Scarred Demon, Scheming Symmetry, & Vampiric Tutor.
7. Basic but also busted card-draw like; Necropotence, Sensei's Divining Top, Stinging Study, Vilis, Broker of Blood, & Peer into the Abyss.
8. Basic creature reanimation with solid cards like; Animate Dead, Necromancy, Reanimate and Beacon of Unrest for artifacts.
9. Liliana of the Dark Realms is black ramp and I love her. 2 mana and 4 life, sign me up. Also that Emblem does WHAT.
10. Doesn't feel like a real magic deck without at least one board-wipe. My choice was Toxic Deluge/Torment of Hailfire.

I'd call this a Doomsday deck but honestly with how wide the deck can go, it's not super dependent on landing it.

Quickening Combos - Aetherflux Reservoir + Bolas's Citadel - Bolas's Citadel + Sensei's Divining Top

Alternate Almost-Win Combos - Mindcrank + Syr Konrad, the Grim - Maralen of the Mornsong + Opposition Agent

Infinite Combos - Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond + any life gain/drain

An end note; the side board actually is cards I'd like to slot out.
