Notes:
Re-updated after play testing. Cut back on white and splashed some red for more versatile removal, as well as {faithless looting} to accelerate {unburial rites}. Tweaked some of the creatures a bit as well. Looking to sideboard {mutilate} when I obtain some. Any opinions or advice is always welcome

I tried running mono black at FNM and it's super hard to stabilize against aggro without mutilate. I highly recommend them in sb

I'd honestly say another {Terminus} maindeck over {Merciless Eviction}. {Merciless Eviction} could be a decent SB card though.

{mutilate} will definetly be in the sideboard! And as for the {merciless eviction}, I agree, play testing has had me put a couple sideboard for non creature removal, especially walkers. Perhaps I should drop {terminus} altogether and sideboard 2 {mutilate} and 2 {merciless eviction}?

Updated!

As you are already running red, I'd ditch {Nefarox, Overlord of Grixis} in favor for {Olivia Voldaren}
The fact you can play her for 2 mana, wow, just wow

what about rakdos returns? seems awfully good

{Rakdos's Return}

I'm surprised I didn't see this, good call!

With all The ramp {rakdos return} would most definetly be good in this deck! Perhaps drop a spear and for a one of?

I'd consider adding a splash of green to help unburial rites... I run it with 4 {lotleth trolls} and 4 {Mulch} in a 5 color deck... Works great... Lotleth let's you discard griselbrand with ease to regenerate him... While gaining a boost

jqnorman · April 15, 2013, 12:57:29 PM

if youre are going to add green which i considered myself, you might as well get techy and add kessig wolf run :p

Mike_garzone · April 15, 2013, 03:35:13 PM

Updated again! Splashing green would be beautiful but unfortunately I lack the shock and dual lands to keep this deck running smooth were I to splash green :/. Picked up a couple {mutilate} and threw together a sideboard! Several small alterations to the main deck as well. And 2 {rakdos return} will be added MB when I obtain them!
