So as I'm slowly earning the points to get into competitive magic, I'm noticing decks aren't really sticking around in standard besides mono black. Do you see this being a powerful deck in modern an legacy as well? Of course with changes proper to the format. I just want to start using a well known proven deck instead of my home brews that have barely gotten me to this point.
To reiterate: what deck has the staying power to be played ( with changes) in standard modern and legacy?
Burn. There is an RDW in basically every format.

Is it consistent in all the formats mentioned? I know it's randomly done well in modern for a while.
I play it in legacy, and it's quite good in standard ATM.

Does it sideboard well for match ups?
Well I've been inspired lol to look at rdw, even found a site that only talks about them. Reddeckwinning.com lol
You can make a nice mono black in modern if you add {Phyrexian Obliterator}s.
And if you like the feel of the deck i recommend esper deathblade for legacy.
I still think making a home brew to play against your meta will always win over any common deck list.

Agreed, I wouldn't be at the level I am if I didn't see how strong mono black was before theros was officially released,( of course I take no true credit for its creation) but I was just looking for something competitive that would last into other formats over time.

Very true. Some decks are just so predictable, but people never know what to expect against a homebrew.
MonoB devotion isn't good in legacy, at least using standard cards that aren't {Thoughtseize}.
There are some mono black decks, namely Pox and The Gate, but neither have been putting up huge results lately.
