So we are having a star EDH fight in a few weeks. We which is the color that kills the two opposing colors first wins.
We have an infinite proxy list and normal EDH ban rules.
I chose black and need suggestions for the most ruthless and hateful way to kill green and white quick.
I am leaning towards a solid tutor package and a Null Rod to slow down everyone else. Also Green/White hate like Virtue's Ruin would work well.
Also I need a general.
Deathgrip might be a consideration, considering it's a 2 mana permanent counterspell and you'll probably need it to deal with some things with pro blue/black (Great Sable Stag)he'll be running. And possible enchanting with nasty auras (eldrazi conscription) Also recommended are all the colorless board wipes and removal, such as brittle effigy, nev disk, o-stone, and all is dust.
I definitly think that it will be hard to kill white off if they start to build their defences. Especially with pesky enchantments/artifacts. So you need things like the disk, o'stone and spine as mentioned above. And I think the idea of a general that hits big and is hard to block is the best idea as well. The Star variation leans more to a 1v1 build then real multiplayer so Skythiryx, the Blight Dragon, Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief and Geth, Lord of the Vault could all work well. Also don't forget equipments such as Lashwrithe and Nightmare Lash. You could also get the damage through via Nether Traitor carrying these. Sword of Light and Shadow and Sword of Feast and Famine are especially great because they can protect your general and make you kill them quicker!
I am def. going to be hating white more than green. My game plan will probably be to mostly cripple white and kill green. Skittles is actually a nice choice. Or a CA engine general.
Kagemaro, First to Suffer gives a solid way to consistently hate on mono white / greens creature package. Corpse Dance will also allow you to play him for 5 and sac him every time a threat presents itself. Pretty broken! Although One Eyed is likely the best mono b commander for his ease of combo.

Unless your friend/opponent who is green plays Azusa or Omnath.
The problem with defining [EDH] by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
Wow, this sounds like it's going to be a brutal all-out War with all of those sideboard cards you'll be packing (and facing). Don't forget to include as many Pro-White and Pro-Green guys you can! Good times me thinks....
lol don't pack too much hate, and you will see that blue and red killing their enemies first before you. I think trying to prevent the allied color first is the key to winning. Killing the white player helps the red player. Killing the green player helps the blue player.
Contamination can be EXTREMELY useful in a mono color deck game if you have a way of popping out tokens each turn. I say pull of a board wipe then put out like Myr turbine. Tap for a creature. Then drop down contamination. They might have some enchantments but in reality you kinda have a lock. Since the others cannot produce their general or any other creature for that matter (or spell). spend the rest of the game building up. Not the best way to win but you win by default because no one can do anything. (besides you)
So just fyi- the winner is the first to kill their colors. Once the two colors are dead game is over. It is a race. I am thinking tutors, hate, and combos are the strong suites of black, so that is what I am planning to run. Any horridly strong black combos?
Run lots of reset buttons and tutors to find them though. Green and white have a lot of black hate, plenty in the form of enchantments, and they could easily wreck your world by taking advantage of this.

Suggestions?
So Pro I have an alpha Volcanic Island
General should probably be someone who can win in combat since GW are the life gain colors. Maybe Skittles.
