I would really like 1-4 Bitterblossoms but then again who wouldn't...
Basically I think I need another wincon other than exsanguinate for those opponents who gain massive life.. Such as a phage or maybe some other insta-win type thing...
Also, I think I need some form of ramp other than the Sol Ring (please don't suggest dark ritual)
I also think I need some other rattle snake cards other than just the one No Mercy to help stall until the deck gets going.
Other than that, all help is appreciated! Throw me whatever pops into your head (what i should remove/add)... Thanks all, especially you CZ
So here is the deal, I would like to put together a monoblack ffa based deck.
I have a deck list in mind, but do not want to spend the money on the deck without some feedback from the MTG community first.
All suggestions are welcome.
The basic Win Condition here is to (hope no one else is playing mono black) and lock the entire game down with a Contamination + Bitterblossom and/or Reassembling skeleton combo followed up by a board clear with damnation or Mutilate. Then I proceed to drain with exsanguinate and pick away at them with the faerie tokens from BB to win. Basically I toolbox whatever fits the situation with my 10 "tutors" and try to keep rattlesnakes on the board to deter people from attacking me while gaining life from ivory towers just in case they atk me anyway.
What cards do I not include that I should.
What cards can I afford to take out/replace?
Do I need more board clearers?
ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED!
Thanks -Brandon
My budget is basically to not any cards that are like 25+ dollars (other than another damnationmaybe)
we dont use proxies at the place i play friday night magic
thank u blue meanie! and yes I just realized that this forum says that these decks are meant for tournament play... I thought tournaments meant like friday night magic at your local store but I'm taking a wild guess that I'm wrong judging by the other decklists in the forum... Thank you for your input but I don't see why I should take out the Ivory towers. They're so cheap for a lot of life with spellbook/reliquary tower. And should I replace the dark rituals with more ramp based artifacts? Like Sol RingEverflowing Chalice, Worn Powerstone or Thran Dynamo ?
btw, as u can all see i am very new. How do you get the chart/table thing that helps u separate into instants sorceries enchantments creatures lands etc etc
