Legendary Creature — Elder Demon
Flying, trample When Demonlord Belzenlok enters, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card, then put that card into your hand. If the card's mana value is 4 or greater, repeat this process. Demonlord Belzenlok deals 1 damage to you for each card put into your hand this way.
“Self-mill demon that cracks your deck for free spells and fuels graveyard recursion.”
Demonlord Belzenlok is a self-mill commander that turns your library into a resource. When he enters, you crack the top of your deck and grab nonland cards, repeating the process if you hit anything with mana value 4+. The damage you take is a small price for filling your hand with gas and fueling graveyard strategies. You're essentially playing a black midrange shell that loves fatties, tutors, and cards that benefit from being milled or discarded.
Your gameplan revolves around maximizing Belzenlok's mill trigger while leveraging the cards you put into hand. Pack your deck with high-impact creatures and spells—especially high-mana-value ones—so you're guaranteed to hit multiple triggers per cast. The self-mill also feeds reanimation outlets, graveyard synergies, and escape mechanics. You win by either attacking with Belzenlok's flying, trample body, or by generating value until you can close out the game with a reanimated threat or a critical mass of resources.

Skip pricey tutors like Vampiric Tutor; use cheaper alternatives like Diabolic Tutor, Grim Tutor, or Beseech the Mirror. Swap Entomb for Sever the Bloodline or other budget removal.
