Commander Clash S5 E19: Mono-Black Week! (Phage vs. Geth vs. Ob Nixilis vs. Marrow-Gnawer)


Welcome back to Commander Clash! Over the past couple of months we've been working our way through a series of mono-colored battles, first with Mono-White and then Mono-Red. Well, today it's Mono-Black's turn! Each crew member built a different take on Mono-Black, which will come out victorious and what did everyone bring? Let's find out!

  • Richard decides that since it's Mono-Black week the best thing to do would be to build a mill deck (yes, seriously, a mill deck) headlined by Geth, Lord of the Vault
  • Seth puts aside his "you win the game cards" and instead tries to make the rest of the crew lose the game with just a single attack from Phage, the Untouchable
  • Crim fills in for Tomer who had something come up at the last minute with a demonic version of Ob Nixilis the Black Oath
  • Vincent puts away the stax cards and plays Rats, lots and lots of them, with Marrow-Gnawer as his Commander

Which Mono-Black deck will take home first? Let's find out! But first, a quick reminder: if you like Commander Clash. and other video content here on MTGGoldfish, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish Youtube Channel to keep up with the latest and greatest.

Mono-Red Prison is my all time favorite deck, but it's not very good in Modern anymore. The good news is that some new additions mean it's time to teach Arena zoomers about the archetype in Timeless!

Duskmourn is a set that doesn't stop giving! We're going to take Scrabbling Skullcrab and other Mill cards in standard to the meta. Thanks to EOE, we've also got the perfect sweeper for a mill deck.
