25 lands

Notes:
This is my kinda budget mono black deck. I found that master of the feast is an amazing card and is even better when followed by a demon. The watery graves in the main are there for some side board options that u haven't quite solidified yet.

It's interesting, but I am not quite sold on the {Master of Feast} yet.

Thing that makes master of feast so good is that it fits on the curve so well. If you turn three mof turn four demon turn five gray merch then you pretty much win. Plus having a 3 drop that can kill a player in 4 turns if let unchecked is just too good.

Like I said in my notes is that the watery graves are in there to open up sideboard options like negates and notion thief against control decks

You could use the blue for Gainsay/syncopate/dissolve/cyclonic rift in the side as well, which depending on the local meta could be the difference in your hardest match-ups!

I would probably put a Nykthos or 2 in there as well
