Schism of Sheoldred

Schism of Sheoldred is a mono-black midrange/control deck in Standard. It plays a heavy discard-and-removal game with cards like Duress, Cut Down, Go for the Throat, Sheoldred’s Edict, and Liliana of the Veil to disrupt the opponent and keep the board clear.

Its key synergies come from efficient attrition threats: Deep-Cavern Bat and Preacher of the Schism generate value while pressuring the opponent, and Gix’s Command helps swing the board or reanimate threats. The deck typically wins by exhausting the opponent’s resources, then closing the game with resilient finishers like Sheoldred, the Apocalypse and Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal.
