Title: mono colored modern
Post by: DirtyMustachio on November 14, 2013, 10:32:17 PM
How many nonbasic mana would you suggest I run mono black infect and was thinking of running

4 {cavern of souls}
4 {inkmoth nexus}

And maybe 12 swamps
Considering {cathedral of war} also

Cmc is all 1, 2 cost and some 0 cost

If you're running infect, I don't suggest 4x caverns. 3x maybe. I run 2x in my mono white Knights deck, but it's creature heavy anyway.But I think that's your max on nonbasics.
Edit: I mean I think that's your max on lands that don't make {B}. Nonbasics are fine otherwise.

Yeah I'm only going to run 8 creatures excluding inkmoths.

So maybe 2 caverns, 2 cathedral?

Inkmoth is still really good. I'd run 3x Inkmoth over 2x Cathedral.

Infect needs 4x inkmoth. No reason to not run the 4.

Inkmoth and Cavern should be all you're running then. If you run any more, you're going to loathe the colorless lands hand. Even as-is it'll show up occasionally.

If you really want to run Cathedral, be my guest. Your deck. My opinion is it's just too many colorless lands.
