I really, really, REALLY like your deck. It's not quite the same as the fight club archetype being tossed around here, but I've been looking for a good green/black deck for a long time and yours looks super fun. Suggestions:
- You mentioned there's a good bit of black control in your local meta, so you may want to consider Autumn's Veil in the sideboard until it rotates in October.
- Since you appear to be going for a Blood Artist using Killing Wave and Demonlord as sac outlets, has that been enough for you in terms of consistent sacrificing? I would maybe up the Killing Waves to 4 maindeck if you can, and then side 1 or 2 out as appropriate against non-aggro decks.
- Why not 4 Blood Artists?
- Beast Within is glorious and you should absolutely have some in the sideboard.
I can absolutely play with a 4th Blood Artist my only concern is drawing him late in the game when I need a game changer. I received some advice from a friend that said if I play a creature that won't help late in the game I should play 3 copies.
I've got a play set of Beast Within, do you think I should main deck a few? Do I have enough removal? I need some Autumn's Vail, I haven't seen that card before and it looks perfect for this deck. Thanks for the praise and advice!!!
I love this deck, I've been tinkering with a green black deck surrounding undying and blood artist and just realized I might be working on a fight club deck without knowing it. I'm new to competitive magic but I've collected and played casually for years (think revised).
Anyway, I just finished putting together my green black deck to play at FNM but after reading this thread I am considering making my deck mono green and adding my 3 Wolfir Silverheart and 2 Champion of Lambholt or even my 2 Garruk Primal Hunter. Please give me some feedback, I'd love to have some success this week.
I like the deck as black green, but I'm open to adjusting it, I have an abundance of cards and anything I don't have I can most likely trade for. My local meta is a bunch of Delver, Pod, and some black Control. Any advice is appreciated, Thanks!
Here are a list of creatures that I've either heard or seen played or attempted in MBC during their tenure in Mono Black decks. Some of them are more controlish then others inherently and other have their moments. I'm not saying I like all of them but here is a list to work from.
Creatures that have been thrown around have been:
Not all of these are "Correct" to play but some have interesting Utility abilities that some build could attempt exploiting more than others.
Control does not necessarily need to curve its creatures to be successful. But there are some lower Cmc threats worth looking into. Many of them I wouldn't play because on turn 2 I would rather Sign in blood or Distress.
The choices down the curve were based on how big of an answer it can be to a threat and how strong the cards utility can be if exploited and how good of a blocker it can be.
I've missed some artifacts cause I need a brain break.
I'd like to play Mono Black Control but I lack the planeswalkers that seems so popular and powerful in this deck design. I have 4 Vampire Nighthawk and 4 Lashwrithe a Grave Titan 2 Massacre Wurms and an Obliterator. I also have all the sorcery and instants anyone could wish for. I'll start putting something together tonight after my meeting but any input on how I can win FNM with the restricted deck list I mentioned would be appreciated.
Can I squeeze my Batterskull in here? I can't figure out which of my decks to play Batterskull in (Goblins, Humans, Infect, Delver, Pod, Zombies) or this one... PLEASE ADVISE!
This is what I was able to put together with cards I have laying around, I think it should play ok but I would really appreciate suggestions and advice. Cheers!
My biggest question is the Disciple of Bolas, with Altar's reap in the deck I might not need the draw power at a 4 drop but I think the card is cool so he's in for now. I'll try it out at FNM and get back to you all.
I've just put together a deck that takes advantage of cantrips, but I feel like I lake a closer, please advise me on my deck. It stands at 36 cards, with 34 of the cards costing two mana or less!
36 Cards, I have 1 Batterskull, 2 Frost Titans, and many other cards that I could throw in to ad some brute force... Is it needed? Should I just round the deck out with Twisted Image and be done? How many Mana do I need? 20, 22? I'm new to this and really would appreciate advice, Thanks in advance
It's 65 cards, I just brought back the Lightning Mauler for synergy with Silverblade Paladin. I can't trim this deck for the life of me, so I'm asking for assistance! Please Help!
I've been playing with a Red/White Human deck for the last month at tournaments and have experienced mixed results. I'm debating ditching the red, which hurts because I play Gisela, Blad of Goldnight and some burn spells.
This is my current deck list, any of the commons or uncommon cards I have more of and can ad or subtract as needed. I'm seriously considering investing in Silverblade Paladin and more Champion of the Parish and eliminating red.
Any of the above white rare humans I only have as many are as listed in the deck, but I'm looking into picking up more, just want input on which cards to buy.

Suggestions for a sideboard would be nice, I'm working on one, but for now I've got; Acidic Slime, Sorin's Thirst, Doom Blade, Mutilate, Disciple of Griselbrand, Beast Within, Llanowar Elves.
Just saw this, very cool, Thanks!

38 cards
I have Spellskite to protect Talrand, the rest is self explanatory. Void Stalker is also a good protector.
Please critique my version of the deck, I need all the help I can get!
Keep in mind that I have cards like Angel of glory's Rise, Honor of the pure, Fiend Hunter and Elite Vanguard that I could sub into the deck to replace some of the red spells, also have Terminus and Blade Splicer.
