Cons: Game length can be long, competitive Commander decks can be very expensive
I like this kind of design
Chaos Shrines Black Crystal is a very nice value engine indeed, for a wide range of black decks
Ive played a bit with the Abbot and have never had him feel bad, mediocre at worst and pretty good at best, meaning that its average is in a pretty tight and consistent range that is good for a Constructed card
It was also built on a modest, not too restrictive budget, though I opted to exclude bangers like Sheoldred, the ApocalypseSheoldred, the Apocalypse and Cabal CoffersCabal Coffers because they reach slightly too far into our wallets
You can only use it once because you need to destroy the card IRL
