{Ratchet bomb} might be able to serve as your boardwipe, or at the least, token boardwipe. Mono black lost a ton of firepower when {mutilate} rotated .

You may consider running {agent of the fates} and a few heroic enablers to gain more control of the board.

I like this idea but I will not have a very high devotion to black!

No

I agree not worth it! It takes to long! And if say I don't draw an  {Agent of the Fates} the enablers are a waste. And visa versa

You need something to deal with RDW. {{Damnation}} is going to be reprinted, but until then you might want to splash white for {{Merciless Eviction}}.

... Has it been spoiled? O.O

25 land for a mono color deck seems quite high.

This is just a net deck of the deck that won the Grand Prix.

Post by: Teysa karlov on November 05, 2013, 09:58:46 AM
I'm slowly editing it! Which Grand Prix? I have not watched any coverage of mtg tournaments since protour Dublin! So I can't have net decked.
