Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is my submission for the secret commander challenge. Now while the commander of Sidar Jabari may not be a very unique option, the way that this has been built is. This is a mono black combo deck all based around one legendary creature: Haakon, Stromgald Scourge. Haakon has a restriction that makes it only able to be cast from the graveyard and allows us to cast Knight spells from our graveyard. Because of this, the deck intends to tutor through its deck and try to find its combo of draining the table with an infinite loop consisting of the following:\n\n1) A cheap 1-2 mana knight\n2) A phyrexian altar or ashnod's altar\n3) A permanent which drains each opponent\n4) Haakon\n\nFor instance, let's say we have an artifact knight, an ashnod's altar, Cabal Paladin and Haakon. We can sacrifice our artifact knight to Ashnod's altar and create 2 generic mana. Because of Haakon, we can cast the artifact knight from the graveyard and then Cabal Paladin will trigger to affect our opponents. We can do this infinitely and bring our opponent's life totals to zero.\n\nWhile the idea of an infinite combo to win the game isn't groundbreaking, the entire focus of the deck being on Haakon is unique. With cards to sacrifice Haakon in case he attempts to be exiled off the board or recursion to pull Haakon out of the graveyard if he is being exiled from there, this deck tries to make sure that Haakon will always be ready to go for when we decide to try to win. Enjoy.\n"}]}
