Braids, Cabal Minion I have a 1v1 list with braids being the commander, now that she is banned I need a comparable replacement so I don't have to change a lot of the deck does anyone have any suggestions on a mono black replacement? any help with this would be appreciated.
With how quickly an decent Urza deck can tutor/transmute out a static/winter orb and protection it I'm really not sure why Braids is still banned.
If you're sticking with 1v1 then Rankle, Master of Pranks is the best option. Good on offense and uses braids stabilizers like bitterblossom to good effect. Being able to control the choice is very good.
One other option could be God-Eternal Bontu. I'm looking for the decklist I saw but someone was running it as a token swarm -> mass draw deck. Not very prisony but most of the same braids tech is there about flooding the board with a bunch of cantriping artifacts.

Another option is a semi-pain commander in maralen of the mornsong using a few key lock parts like teferi's puzzle box. Upu do have to change a bunch if your deck by replacing card "draw" with stuff like dark bargain/bitter revelation/moonlight bargain/etc. I have an old outdated video about her here.
