Strategy
M.O.D.O.K. is a flying, lifelink creature that grows stronger the more you connive. Your gameplan is straightforward: activate M.O.D.O.K.'s Mental Organism ability repeatedly to draw cards, discard, and rack up +1/+1 counters. Each activation costs only 3 life, which you'll recoup through lifelink damage and general black value. The passive -1/-1 lord effect is a nice bonus that grinds down your opponents' board while you build a growing flying threat.
Your win condition is commander damage: M.O.D.O.K. swings in the air, lifelinks you back to safety, and connives turn after turn until it's a massive flying threat. You'll fill your deck with cheap black creatures and discard-synergy cards—things that reward you for pitching nonlands. Cards like Cabal Therapy effects, looting outlets, and creatures with connive-adjacent triggers all accelerate your plan. The beauty is that M.O.D.O.K. is both the engine and the threat, so you don't need to juggle multiple priorities.
