Title: Temples in monoblack devotion
Post by: Slenderbro on December 17, 2013, 08:48:13 PM
Why have teple of deceit?
Why have temple of silence?
What is the need for both? (Most top 8-ers run 2 of each)
Is their only function in the deck to scry?

Clear some stuff up for me please. Thanks

I have noticed that a lot of decks have a second color in the sideboard, the dual lands help to support the second color when sided in. A lot red decks side white (and vice versa), blue is siding black often, and black usually sides either white or blue.

That one little white mana can allow your black devotion deck a guest appearance from the blood baron!

A lot of people do it. Gary both takes life and gains you life, the perfect set up for a {Blood Baron of Vizkopa} to get his pump.
