black burn cards mtg The Top Non-Red in Commander Alchemy Metagame Mono Black Burn

I'm not exactly traveling to Grands Prix or MagicFests monthly

Yavimaya Elder (Ext, S, Block) A mainstay of The Rock (a black-green deck that thrives off of card-advantage creatures), the Elder potentially nets you a four for one advantage: it can block and kill a creature, then sacrifice to draw a card plus two lands

Raven Eagle isnt flashy at all, in name, art, or effect, but its a nice package of abilities and stats to make it competitively viable

She doesnt have stats to make her a powerhouse threat on her own

But the 4 damage mode is likely to pull a lot of weight in this deck too, since Eshki is capable of pressuring life totals so effectively

It has a similar gameplay loop (big vanilla with a risk) but gains tension over time
