Evil.
Evil is a 100-card Commander deck led by Lord Xander, the Collector in the Grixis color identity (blue/black/red). TableCommander estimates this deck at bracket 4 — optimized / high-power.
The mainboard runs 20 creatures, 15 instants, 8 sorceries, 12 artifacts, 7 enchantments, and 38 lands, averaging 3.24 mana value across non-land cards. 68% of non-land cards cost 3 mana or less; 23% cost 5 or more.
Notable inclusions: 7 game changers (e.g. Notion Thief, Opposition Agent, and Vampiric Tutor) and 1 fast mana (Dark Ritual). This deck is currently Commander-legal on TableCommander.
