Today I bring to you a monoblack Commander built around the Rankle, Master of all Tricky Tricks! This new legendary Rogue Faerie from Throne of Eldraine is aggressively costed for tournament Magic, but with the support of the much wider Commander card pool it can very easily terrorize your local playgroup. Putting the grim in faerie tales, this deck’s pranks are guaranteed to rankle all of your opponents!
Both Bennie and myself will be at CommandFest DC! More info can be found here: http://www.commandfestdc.com/
