Bontu can't attack or block unless a creature died under your control this turn.
, Sacrifice another creature: Scry 1. Each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.
Bontu is a cheap, indestructible mono-black aristocrats commander. You flood the board with expendable creatures and tokens, then chain Bontu's sacrifice ability to scry, drain each opponent, and gain life while attacking for 5 menace. The deck grinds the table out through repeated death triggers and incremental drain rather than a single big swing.
Indestructible 5-power body that's hard to remove and only costs 3 mana
Repeatable activated drain that pings every opponent and gains you life
Mono-black gives access to the best tutors, ramp, and recursion in the format
Aristocrats payoffs turn fodder into damage, draw, and life swings
Bontu's ability and her attacking restriction both require a steady stream of dying creatures
Vulnerable to graveyard hate and exile-based removal that dodges indestructible
Single color means no access to interaction outside black (limited to artifact/creature destruction)
Needs board presence to function—wraths and stax can leave her stranded
Legendary Creature — God
