mtg most powerful black cards Top Mono-Black Commander on a Budget: 10

It is rather bizarre that it's not a creature as the card's sole focus and name is on Shahrazad (or Sheherazade), a character from the 1001 Arabian Nights story, but that's not even the least of why this card is so iconic

Why should a good thing end after flipping a card

Whenever this creature deals damage, you gain that much life

Say you have two cards in hand: a Tarmogoyf and a Remand

Also, positive side note: The draft didn't feel like on rails, cause I had the option to go Orzhov lifegain pretty much the whole time, than just left the white stuff in my sideboard, because the monoblack payoffs seemed stronger and were more plenty.
