I would take out 2 swamps and add 2x {Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx}

Nykthos is super awkward when I have 3 one drops in hand and only one land. I think I'll pass, thanks for the suggestion though.

{thoughtseize} all day, the Monoblack competitive lists in old standard and block played a playset. Solid card

Sideboarded against control/courser. I'd rather play a 1 drop t1.

Thus has been super fun to play so far. {Bloodstained Champion} is the mvp of the deck! Preordered a playset just now.

I could use some sideboard help, though.

Tbh I think I'd prefer T1 T seize over a 2/1 (I know silly but you can get their best card from it.

Also {Pain Seer} might be worth a test. Baby Bob is really good and with your low curve it'll help you .poo. out 1 drops all game!!

Oh, I like baby Bob. Good idea.

Maybe Bob over skull hunter? I almost feel like I have too many 3 drops. Maybe I should cut a few?

You don't play it turn one, you play it turn 2, a long with another guy to take away there board wipe/removal it's more of a turn 2-3 card

Why not play {master of the feast}.  I'm pretty sure the card disadvantage doesn't outweigh the 5/5 power in this aggro deck

It does though the disadvantage outweighs it way too much.

I would agree with this against a control deck, but there's not as much removal as there was before and control/wrath is much less likely now. A 5/5 for 3 will be powerful

Sure a 5/5 for 3 is insanely powerful but NEVER let any deck draw a card.

Control will most definitely be a thing. I'm running it and BBD released a sick list so it will be there.

Also even against stuff that's not control. Decks that just need the extra but of damage want it. Burn likes it and even aggro would like it. Idk play test it but it's not my favourite

I prefer {Herald of Torment}. I don't want to give them more opportunity to find polukranos, end hostilities, etc.

Baby bob has been super sick. I cut the skullhunters for him. I think I need the rest of the Downfalls in the board, but that leaves me with 3 slots. What should I play??

Need sideboard ideas vs courser and Brimaz.

{Mogis Marauder}

Any kill spell preferably {Heros Downfall} alternatively {Muderous Cut}

I've seen some decks playing more hand disruption main deck. I need to test that out. Thoughts on that anyone?
