Want to make a black deck

Grexis · November 17, 2011, 05:41:43 AM

Anyone have ideas on a black deck that can produce lots and lots of creatures I'm open to any format so whatcha guys got?

Well the {Relentless Rats} and {Thrumming Stone} combo has been a big conversation point on here lately. Another fast creature deck is Zombie tokens, especially lately in Innastrad!

If you want "lots and lots of creatures" check out {Army of the Damned}!

Yeah I've seen army and the rats look interesting because of {Marrow-Gnawer} but I'm waiting to see what else I can find

If you add The Arny with a few copies of {Moan of the Unhallowed}, some {Cellar Doors}, a {Grimoire of the Dead} and even a {Grave Titan} and if you were willing to splash Green, add in a {Parrallel Lives} and you're on your way to a black creature over run deck. ðŸ˜

Not to knock it or anything, but why is everyone so in love with {Relentless Rats} nowadays? O_o

I would be embarrassed to play that.

It is much akin to camping in First Person Shooters.

Hehe funny

BlackJester · November 22, 2011, 12:29:43 PM

I dunno. I'd probably play it once or twice for laughs, but then I'd get bored of it.

Besides, once you've gone out and spent all this money on 24~30 Rats, what else are you going to do with them, if not in a deck like this? At least if you spent the same amount of cash on a nice land, you could use it in a number of decks afterward.

Yup I was thinking of going zombies but black is a complicated color for me to play not sure what I should do

I don't know if straight up Standard zombie decks are that complicated. You could always try White Weenie decks. They are pretty straight forward.

Grexis · November 23, 2011, 04:44:01 AM

Black is complicated for because I don't play standard I have no idea what to do with the color I've never played and I want a black deck
