$0.38
Legendary Creature — Aetherborn Rogue

Mono-black value and control that steals cards from opponents' libraries, recurs its best creatures and drains the table out.
Read more
Gonti is a 2/3 deathtouch body with an enter trigger. Look at the top four cards of an opponent's library, exile one face down, and you can cast it for as long as it stays exiled, using any type of mana. A mono-black deck can cast an opponent's green ramp spell or red titan this way. The deck gets more triggers by blinking, sacrificing and reanimating Gonti, and it surrounds him with removal, tutors and big black finishers.
In the recorded games, Gonti played a slow game of theft and recursion. Stealing an Inferno Titan off the top gave one early lead. Cabal Coffers made huge mana, Mutilate cleared creature boards, and Kokusho, the Evening Star and Rune-Scarred Demon were looped through sacrifice and reanimation. Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Puppeteer Clique and Exsanguinate drained the table out. One build added Bolas's Citadel, Aetherflux Reservoir and Sensei's Divining Top as a combo. Its losses came from stalling on lands with tutors in hand, and from faster combo decks. Grindy graveyard opponents had trouble keeping up with its recursion.
