Be'lakor, the Dark Master card art
Be'lakor, the Dark Master blankets the board the moment it enters — every demon you control draws a card, and every demon that dies drains your opponents — making it one of the most impactful seven-drops in black. The cost is real: seven mana with double black, and a legendary body that draws removal the second your opponents read the text box, but a kicked Rite of Replication on any demon turns that trigger into a lethal drain in a single shot.

Abaddon the Despoiler churns out demons at every cascade trigger, which means Be'lakor, the Dark Master converts each of those bodies into card advantage and a constant drain clock — the two create a self-reinforcing engine where more cascades mean more demons mean more value per combat step.

Commander is where Be'lakor, the Dark Master lives — a singleton demon tribal payoff that wants a critical mass of synergistic pieces is exactly the kind of card that thrives in 100-card builds, whether as the commander itself or as a finisher in the 99 of any black-heavy demon shell. Legacy and Vintage are legal on paper, but a seven-mana creature with no immediate board-protection does nothing in formats defined by free interaction and turn-one kills. Oathbreaker is theoretically legal but the same logic applies — the card needs a midgame to exist.
