Yep, another mono-black devotion. That wins

Oi, cut it with the coy remarked!

Wow, I actually got negative karma for my decklist.
Who'd a thunk it?

not that it was me who did it, but if i would have lost tons of standard games to monoblack, i could appreciate the sentiment they felt with someone posting about winning with monoblack. luckily, i also play mono black (splash green), so I havent had that experience.

Congrats on the wins man

[Sto5rm]

Thanks.

I kinda wanted to brag a bit, this is the biggest event I've ever won and SuperIQs are kinda the biggest thing you can go to without it being a 2 day event

That being said I do have my own twist on it.
Ratchet bomb is a thing yo!

You're my hero!

I helped as well because i think its stupid for people to neg for dumb reasons.. This is actually a scary deck. It would probably wipe its ace with mine.

I have some positive karma for the win! Itsgood to hear, but man o man, another mono black deck. I understand the frustration with people playing against it, it's been around and more top tier than Jund was last rotation (and that says A LOT). I do always go back to saying, if you win with it, play it! So congrats man, and hopefully you can get into some bigger events like a GP or PTQ and do some damage

[Munchlax]

Well done with the win! It's a solid build, no matter how irritating mono black is. Also maybe consider running at least two {Nykthos Shrine to Nyx}

With Staff of the death magus in the side
And Gray merchant being my highest costing card there really isn't much I need extra mana for.
The deck has two modes
1: PackRat plan, make a rat a turn and kill the opponent through multiplication.
2 control plan: use a vast array of kill spells with underworld connections as a draw engine to control the game and chip away at their life with a single creature.

I've actually qualified for a few higher lvl tcg and SCG events.
If I do well at them I'll probably try a PTQ or GP.

I have enough TCG points to enter into their 50k tournament later this year, it will take place about 1 week after RTR rotates out so I'm actually really excited about how diverse that meta will be!
