Don't like {Death Wind} here, I'd go with a {Mutilate} or {Tribute to Hunger}

The only problem is when mutilate mutilates my board presence too. Tribute to hunger though? Probably the best choice when i want to keep their field mostly clear anywys

Updated a bit

You could {Altar's Reap} when you {Mutilate}, get some value back. A clear board helps you stabilize, it's always a good thing to be able to stabilize. You can add cheap undying guys ({Geralf's Messenger} is bottom right now)

Good call i can board wipe now im hoping... 8x undying is plenty but is it too much?

Some artifact/land suggestions could help if anyone has some

Considering {grafdigger's cage}/{tormod's crypt} SB and {elixir or immortality} MB?

Any other suggestions? I want this deck to win, and its pretty budget so some cards over a few bucks are welcome if it improves the deck enough!

I kinda want to say {Tormod's Crypt} over {Grafdigger's Cage} in SB just because you can choose when to activate crypt, and cage is going to ruin your {Geralf's Messenger} and {Butcher Ghoul}.

Reanimator insanity with thragtusk was justtoo much i wouldve won 4 times over if not for 30+ life from thrags. Still went 1-2. Otherwise it works out pretty darn well. Also having trouble with enchantments.. All the enchant hate seems to be white

{crypt ghast} into {griselbrand}?
Title: Re: Mono-black FNM?
Post by: MisterJH on March 28, 2013, 04:13:21 PM

What about {lord of the void} then?
Title: Re: Mono-black FNM?
Post by: MisterJH on March 28, 2013, 04:25:52 PM
How do you suggest i flip the deck around then? Ill consider it. Also may SB 2 {bump in the night}, sounds stupid but ive gotten decks to 2 life so many times only to get thragtusked twice next turn...

Seriously in mono black, you need to run  {Crypt Ghast}. It's just rediculiously good. Extra mana so you can extort? Sure! Multiple so you can multiple extort? Insane! Use that along side {Sign in Blood} haha!

I'll bump my heartless summoning deck for you if you haven't seen it. It's rediculiously strong. My only tough match ups are turn 4/5 decks and stupid mill control. And that's usually because I started with a poor (but usable) hand. Working on my sideboard to fix against those decks. Essentially it's MBC via creatures.
