You know what card should be in your crap card collection, Eater of Days, i remember playing 2 at once, only to have them Smashed. I died 2 turns later(my opponents 2nd turn). I sat up the whole night crying.....
Random thought: The most stylish way for a black mage to kill someone, is to drain the bugger dead. That way you can say "I killed him" and not "My Plague Sliver killed him".
Pro player cards are abit "meh". Maybe wizards wants to weight the pack down to think that they're giving us more XDD

I like that. just hope your not saying "My Plague sliver killed me"
So any Johnnys out there wanting to help me make a Magus of the mirror deck? I just want to see an oponent's face when you Draw a Grozoth with Dark Confidant :xd:
Also, your guy's first post needs work... a lot of work. Check out Dimir's for the best first post ever
Once my friend was running ink-eyes and bob in the same deck. Needless to say one flip made him really hate bob.
I finally have mono black aggro together, but missing a plauge sliver. Running two right now and testing before work yesterday I drew them a total of twice out of like 6 games (aggro Vs. aggro is over really fast) but the gams I got to play him I was worth it cause in 5-6 of the games I had bad moon opeing hand, my buddy scott now hates that card.
In anycase gotta build a sideboard real fast today and get things ready cause tommarrow ill be out and won't be back til saturday night.
I have seen far too many newer players throw Bob and high CC cards like Kokusho, Ink-Eyes, and the like in the same deck. At a FNM, I was playing against one such player. He was at 7, had Bob and Arena out. He stacks it so Bob goes off first...revealing Ink-Eyes. He then tries to Mortify his own Arena.:-/
I had the pleasure of telling him that didn't work.
I MISS DEATH CLOUD! I played Mono Black Cloud in Mirrodin/Kamigawa Standard, and beat almost everything...even MUC, because of Nightmare tech. (Bribery? Sure. Only guy you'll find is a Nightmare, though.:D Side OUT Kokopuffs vs. a deck that steals your guys.)
Mono Black Cloud is the only deck where you run 4 Kokushos, cause they're meant to die.

I never really liked Bob. He was and still is really expensive ($) and hard to trade for, and unless you build a deck around him (Ghost Dad, Ghost Husk) he will screw you over.

haha, when i first started playing ravnica (i had taken a break during kamigawa block...go figure...), i got a booster box, and opened 2 confidants...needless to say, i figured they were terrible and would just own my life total...so i traded them away. and now, i just got a playset for my MBA deck..though that wasn't too painful ; )

My buddy was doing CAL in extended so I traded him mine, he lost horribly with it and turned to me and traded his set of them for some stuff for goblins.
No one played them after that at my shop til I built husk, now my other buddy is looking for them to do burner but still doesn't like erm, just wants erm cause I use erm.
bob - efficiency. similarly to garza's assassin (which i love, btw), bob works overtime as a beater. yeah, i know, everyone can tell you this, but i've been playtesting my MBA a LOT, and i am never unhappy to see bob in a hand. he also comes down on turn two instead of three, and somehow, in my mind and experience, that makes a large difference. in general, arena is better for control decks, bob for aggro. again, something that basically anyone could tell you/already has. but that's my stance.
I've never actually seen a game where Bob made a huge difference so The arena is my choice, but then there are no bobs in my casual play group and I play against arenas all the time. I haven't been able to get play time elsewhere, but I'm going to a couple tournaments this weekend.
however, i think that running haakon would be somewhat pointless, unless you're running other knights...skulking knight or stromgald crusader...seems kinda limiting though.
My friends talked me out of doing mono black aggro, mostly due to the lack of testing time. Instead I took bob the bunrer, satanic sligh, sui sligh, whatever you call it. Went 4-3 with losses to a vore variant, green white aggro that ran battery and call of the heard, and heirarchy (elephants on parade as I called it) and a zoo that sided greater gorgadon to nullify my sideboard completely.
I did however beat a non elephant g/w aggro, a vore deck played by my buddy, a pandamonium deck, and my favorite of the night, a battle of witts deck.
Hope those who got to test and tune mono black did better than I did, I was just 3 points off of makeing it to top 8.
EDIT: And Svogthir let us know how you did, hope you took it all the way and needed some time to find space to hang the plaqe.
I ran a mono-black control deck, and it did alright. Went 4-5, but should have been 7-2. Mono-black control is good, and if one of the upcoming sets gives us a BoardSweeper, it will be Tier One in Standard. Check out my post in the Standard Mono-Black thread.

I'm very close to petitioning wizards for one. If a wrath variant is going to happen every set and wrath be in the core then we should atleast get infest back in the core to.
But other than that hope you had fun, end of mine I was all stoked I got to play a couple of really fun rounds and was only 3 points away from top eight (I had 12, 15 and up where all considerations. So close).
I don't know about you, but lately, i've been having trouble finding inspiration to make my mono-black deck...I've been losing like hell, and i'm starting to question it's viability(i know, blasphemy).
i've been very happy with how mine is working. i know, i should probably switch out the sangrophages for hyppies, but they're so expensive : ( anyway, does anything in particular trouble you? the most bothersome matchup (in both my experience and in general consensus) has been control, usually of the mono-blue kind. and, well, we're working on that. methinks we oughta try underworld dreams...if it can get through, the dreams would be a nice means to chip away at the other player...at least put them on a clock, and prevent them from taking as much time as they want.
are you talking about an aggro or control deck, here?
I built my brother in law a kickass UB Wizards deck for States, so on occasion, I even TOUCH islands.
I just don't LIKE them. Whenever I play a blue spell, it makes me feel dirty inside.
(OMG, how may sigs is THAT gonna end up in.. :()
Foils in microwave= icky smell in the kitchen. I know from experience that burning them with a lighter is quite difficult, though.
People, gimme all your One with Nothings, a foiled Norin the Wary, a foiled TS Squire, and a foil Wit's End. I need them for my crap card collection.
OwN count: 23, 2 foil
Other highlights- foil Mudhole, foil Chimney Imp, foil Scornful Egotist, foil Spinal Parasite, foil Numai Outcast.
