:symb::symb::symb:Membership Guidelines:symb::symb::symb:
To become a member, you are required to submit a mono black deck list. This list can be of any format but it is to be a serious deck. (I.e. It has to be functional. I do not wish to see decks that are just black cards and Swamps mashed together, as these are a disgrace to the name [Clan Mono-Black].
Once you post your deck list, members will welcome you and if your list checks out, you will become one of our minions. Once you are a minion, you are a new member. Once you become active enough (50 posts in the clan), you will become a Disciple, and with it you will get a nifty title!
If you wish to become a friend of [Clan Mono-Black], you are only required to post. You are to explain why you wish to be a friend (for example, if you are from an allied clan, say that). If you wish to to become a member after you are a friend, you are still required to post a deck list that is mono black. If we deem it worthy, you will become a pledge. Then, based on how active you were prior to your application for membership, you will be made a member. If you posted alot, it will be relatively easy to become a member. If you were inactive, you will be treated as a newcommer.
For those members who wish to step down from the clan for whatever reason, you are to simply state it in a post. You will then be added to our friends.
While a member, you will be expected to follow all rules of the forums. This means no advertising, no hotlinking (we especially frown upon this after our previous Evincar and the "tainted thread"), no spamming, no flaming, and general manners are to be used. We will also expect card tags and deck tags when you post decks. We also would like you to post in a semi-professional manner. You are also expected to have fun around here!

Anyway, when making a new thread and having the old one archived, you should report the last post of the old thread rather than just pm 1 mod about it. That way it will get archived as soon as possible.
When I saw this new thread, I realized that I had not gotten a buzz from the report, so the old thread was probably still around. It was, and I locked it up for you, but in the future, report it k?
Thanks Zaph. I didn't know we were supposed to report it. I always thought we were just supposed to PM a mod for it. But I'll remember that for the next time.
Anyway, it's been long since I built a mono-black deck. I had this really cool deck with 4 Nightmare and 4 Korlash, Heir to Blackblade back in the days that that was still Standard legal, then when Time Spiral rotated it couldn't work anymore as a Standard legal deck and I tried to revise it and keep it Standard legal.. but it didn't work and the deck died.
I'm still hoping to reanimate it one day.. either Standard legal or not. I've come to the conclusion that since I play mostly casual anyway (and so does my playgroup) it doesn't really matter that much.
Glad to see you back around here though, Zaph. Korlash brings back memories of MBC.
PS: Who made that header? It's cool. The text colour could be better though.. but otherwise it's cool
The header is really simple actually. I had one heck of a time trying to find a Sorin full art for it, so I just went to his PW page on the wizards site and copied the background image and slapped some text on it so that blue wasn't just blank space.
To get the new thread off and rolling (over the bodies of our enemies :evillol:) anyone have any tips/hints/tricks/cards/strategies/or random comments on a mono black shadow (aggro creature based) deck? details for deck creatures here:http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=189053
lol zaph's sig extends the width of the whole page
This is my first competitive black deck (the old one was a Rat/Discard deck with Marrow-Gnawer).
It's a Stax deck, mainly used for casual multiplayer games.
Any advice is welcome.
Braids pox! Coolness! Most decks like this I've seen run Nether Spirit, and it is an amazing creature so I can't help but recommend it (amusing Entomb target to be sure). I like the idea of Tomb of Urami as a recurring finisher (assuming this takes the spot that Tombstalker does a lot of the time). My biggest question though, how is Death Cloud does versus Pox proper? I'd also want to throw in one Gods' Eye, Gate to the Reikai, and a Bloodstained Mire (recurring fetch with Crucible for $$).
i have no clue, i'm at school so the admins lock anything that would mess with the computers AKA resolution setting *grumble* and now that i'm on a mac (lol for illustrator XD) it looks fine......wtf?

Sorry about the Lost Souls bit...had a few things going on, work and such dragging me down...;-) I have a new Mono-Black Legacy deck that I am playtesting...who's ready for some $60 enchantment control???

Thoughts? My clanmates are ripping it apart as we speak over in the Apple...
I really like the Chains/Anvil lock with bob and Bloodghast (< favorite creature in Zen, easily). Do you ever find yourself wanting some spot removal? Snuff Out, Ghastly Demise, and Smother all come to mind as candidates, or are the poxes enough?

Sorry for the delay. I've been a bit swamped, having 3 tests so far this week. Luckily, its almost over. I just need to write a speech outline tonight...
Anywho, I'll move you back up to the friends list, MO. I was actually going to go through and delete all names of people from when I wasn't around (all of which are inactive anyways). You've saved your name though! :lol:
Spot removal really isn't all too necessary, as most of the Pox effects take care of that by itself, along with my creatures. MIshra's Factory is a great blocker, and Pox can really punish some unprepared players. 4 creatures out means 2 are getting sacrificed, not 1...I'd gladly cast Pox, then drop a land to bring back my Bloodghast, usually trading with my opponent's creature until I have them soft-locked out of the game...
Sir Auron,
Thanks for not forgetting about me, I would guess. Even my posting in the NYC DK thread has been scarce, but now that I have a girlfriend who DOESNT mind me playing Magic, along with the ability to manage my time...;-)

How could we really forget about anyone, I mean, the title says it all!
And let me know where you find this thing called "time management"
What the vampire that you love to play with as a card it self and for a pic. my is as a card Ascendant Evinear (the second crovax) and gor the pic the frist pic of the sengir vampire.

Mishra's factory is a card that as a Legacy player, I've owned for 7 years already, and any Legacy player worth their weight in salt knows that Mishra's Factory is an easy pick-up. At $10/playset, there's no going wrong. ;-). 1 for a 2/2 (3/3 on a block) far outweighs a 2/2 blocking flyer!!

The problem with nexus is it's not only smaller, but there's an mana cost for it's pump ability. Factory blocks as a 3/3 for 1 mana, Nexus blocks as a 2/2 for 2 mana. At any rate, FBB factories aren't bad, and the WB ones are really cheap (though with the requisite ugliness).
I'm @ work, otherwise I'd have checked gatherer and seen that, too...I'll take a bit of the ugliness factor if it saves me $70 that I don't have right now because the economy sucks, and $9 an hour is the best I can do (besides, I'd rather get dual lands, 4 plateau and 4 badlands short of 40 duals/40 fetches). But that IS one of the many reasons factory is run over Nexus. If you're on a budget, factories are the cheapest way to do what you need to do, as the only other "replacement" is a) worse, and b) more expensive. And that's mutavault.
So the other day while playing my one friend I came across a MB deck's worst enemy: karma. My deck has been pretty much unbeatable until this incident. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of it?

Aaaah yes, black's only problem...enchantments and artifacts. Sadly, urborg is the best way to beat Karma, as nothing else can get rid of the enchantment, which Is why I usually play black with splashes of green and/or white. My first real deck was B/g/w rock back when Apocalypse came out. 4x pernicious Deed, 4x spiritmonger, 2x Spectral Lynx, 3x ebony treefolk, just overall a punishing deck. Now my latest monoIblack incarnation, as seen above, is a cross between a proven mono-black archetype, and an experimental enchantment that happens to be my favorite card (in case you can't tell!!)

Originally I was going to splash some white but opted not to due to the fact it would weaken certain cards such as corrupt and tendrils of corruption. I cant say that Ive ever seen anyone that I played use that enchanment. I think my favorite black enchantment has to be necropotence. Its just insanely powerful.
