The Black Set Hello all, and welcome back to the Underdog’s Corner! While I mistakenly said that was from the “Black Set” last time, our newest underdog for this article actually is from Torment. Continuing with my want to even out the color distribution of our series, Chainer seemed like a perfect fit. I got to play against a Chainer deck often for a short while, but in that time our nightmarish entrant made an impression on me.
To my shock, Chainer is the 12th most-played mono-black commander on EDHREC. After seeing him first-hand, I think this legend’s age is holding back his deck numbers more than his power level. Let’s take a look at our old pit fighter. Chainer, Dementia Master Our local Cabal pit fighter doesn’t mix words, and his ability suite immediately lets us know who we’re dealing with. “ BBB, Pay 3 life: Put target creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. That creature is black and is a Nightmare in addition to its other creature types.“ Simple, effective, powerful.
For an investment of three black mana and three life, Chainer gets to put any creature from ANY graveyard into play under our control. We aren’t just limited by our creatures as Chainer lets us reach into our opponents’ graveyards to play with their cards. Not only that, but we get to do it at instant speed as well. Their dead become our toolbox. Chainer also acts as an anthem for our returned or stolen creatures, and while it’s not as important as his reanimating ability, it can still be relevant. However, as it seems to be with most things in black’s slice of the color pie, power comes at a cost. If Chainer leaves the battlefield, we have to exile all Nightmares from the game.
This isn’t quite as much of a downside as it may initially appear. Chainer has a few tricks up his sleeve that help us mitigate this “cost.” Chains Keep Us Together So when we look at Chainer’s ability, I take notice of his ability’s two costs. Triple black would normally be prohibitive in a deck, but since we’re only playing in one color, that’s not an issue at all. If we compare it to other popular and powerful reanimator spells, the mana requirement is actually a deal.

This is especially so since we get to reach into our opponents’ graves. Paying three life in a format that starts at forty isn’t that big of a deal either, but there can be a point in the game where that payment starts to look harder to pay. However, neither of these issues are critical things to worry about since mono-black has ways to mitigate those in spades. One thing mono-black has going for it is access to big mana.,, and all give us access to doubled mana. From there we can pour that into Chainer’s ability to resurrect an army at will. However, since Chainer’s ability is so mana-intensive, we want to be able to find these pieces when we need them. Well, we’re in mono-black, so that’s not an issue either.

And let us dig through our library for easy access to any creatures we need. Lets us dig for not only the aforementioned Cabal Coffers, but other important lands such as,,. Black also has access to one-shot unconditional tutors like and as well as tutors stapled to bodies like that allow us even further access to parts of our deck when we need it. Black is also the color most well-known for draining life to gain life, Chainer gets to play several black staples that help us push towards a win while also supporting his ability’s cost.
