Interceptor, Shadow's Hound

Interceptor, Shadow's Hound is a recursive threat that rewards you for playing legendary creatures and attacking with them. The menace ability makes it a solid body early on, but the real value lies in its graveyard recursion—every time you attack with legendaries, you can spend {2}{B} to reanimate Interceptor from the graveyard, tapped and attacking. This turns your legendary creatures into a consistent reanimation engine, letting you build up board presence and pressure opponents without ever truly running out of threats.

The deck naturally leans into a Golgari-style legendary-focused strategy, but since Interceptor is mono-black, you'll want to lean hard into black legendaries and sacrifice synergies. Cards that put multiple legendary creatures into play, tutors to find your key threats, and effects that trigger off attacks create a self-sustaining machine. You're aiming for a midrange battlefield where Interceptor and your other legendaries snowball through repeated combat, supported by creature-focused tutors and small recursion outlets.

Wins come through a combination of commander damage and combat pressure. Since you're constantly recurring Interceptor and attacking with legendaries, you'll grind out opponents over time, occasionally using sacrifice outlets or aristocrat effects to convert your board into tokens or additional value.
