Vincent Valentine rides a wave of Final Fantasy VII nostalgia while offering a mono-black commander that plays into lifegain, sacrifice, and Voltron themes. EDHREC data and deck techs show him commonly built with lifedrain combos, +1/+1 counters, and equipment that turn him into a lethal attacker. His flexible design makes it easy to incorporate iconic black staples and popular infinite life-drain loops. Fans of edgy flavor and grindy black value decks enjoy that Vincent feels both cinematic and mechanically powerful at typical Commander tables.
