COMMANDER: Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath

The second of the new commander decks that I want to have a quick look at is the black
commanded by Ob Nixillis...

Obviously his last ability is pretty good but it is going to take a few turns to get to and it will
mean that you will have to spend some time simply draining and gaining a bit of life, rather
than creating Demon creatures. Of course the ability to recast from the command zone will
mean that in his initial appearances on the battlefield can build up a flying army and then once
in a position to defend himself he can start on his journey to his ultimate ability.
