MTG Salvation

Hello everyone and thank you for clicking on the link, whether it be out of boredom or with brilliant insight, it is much appreciated.
This is my first commander deck and my goal is to make the most out of Chainer, Dementia Master, after reading through some of the other competitive forums and looking at the list of mono black commanders that have actually broke through, this seems like quite the daunting challenge.
However Chainer has the built in ability to reuse creatures with enter the battlefield abilities to hopefully gain enough card advantage to best your opponents, this reusable engine seems like it could have an enormous amount of potential behind it. The challenge is finding the correct assortment of cards to get the maximum amount of value out of Chainer as well as the deck, so without further ado the deck and then a few random thoughts on why I put a few of the things in there.


First, one of the things that many may be scratching their heads about is the Salvaging Station engine that was added to the deck, the one costed artifacts give the deck a few extra tools that can be back breaking when reused. From repeated removal in the form of Executioner's Capsule to finding a utility land from Expedition Map it seemed like it could help gain enough of an advantage over the course of the game.

Second, all of the utility lands themselves. Since this is a mono colored deck I felt like adding these would help with the ability to be reused. Being able to tap a Maze of Ith each turn isn't completely removing the problem from the game, but it is buying me time to find an answer for said problem.

Problems that I have seen so far:
Going against other mono black decks or decks that utilize a lot of black creatures.
A good chunk of our targeted removal has that nasty clause of saying "nonblack creature", this has been somewhat troublesome when attempting to take out the biggest problem on the other side of the field when it seems to have protection from our removal.

Card draw:
In the commander deck Griselbrand, he has all the card drawn needed strapped to his body, once cast you can pay the copious amounts of life that you have and reap the rewards. Chainer doesn't have that luxury, so this is where trying to find the right amount of card drawing spells comes into play. I understand the importance of finding the right answer but in black there are plenty of spells that can find said answer, at the cost of more life than we may have to spare.

As stated earlier this is the first draft of the deck and I plan on tuning Chainer till it seems he can not get any better, when time permits I will be testing this deck at my local card shop because they recently announced they would be holding French tournaments. So when I have the information I will report back on any other flaws that have come up with the deck, if anyone has any ideas of ways to make this more efficient or streamlined please let me know. Deck building is not a strength of mine and any help to achieving this goal is most appreciative, so with that in mind thank you everyone who has clicked on this link.

Chainer loves to play with ALL graveyards. Plague Wind will wipe out opponents creatures. Cards like Blood Artist will help ease Chainer's 3 life cost a bit. Sac outlets like phyrexian altar give instant speed sac outlet so if chainer will be removed, the creatures won't be exiled and it will help re cast him. black market shines here.

Thoughtseize and Inquisition of Kozilek seem like they would be good for 1v1 games.
