This is a 2nd attempt at a MBC deck and it seems a bit more solid. I've messed with it quite a bit over the last few days and want it to be the best it can be. Does anyone have any ideas?

MBC?

MBC?

mono-black control ( I apologize for the confusion)

[Thorn]

I would run 3 {Despise} and 3 {Duress} instead of 2 and 4.

[Thorn]

And {The Rack} seems to work directly agaisnt your discardy strategy. I would sugest maybe something like {Phyrexian Oblitorator}

[15bm]

Those seem like good suggestions. I used {the rack} as a win condition because if you get your opponent to 0 cards in their hand, they still have to lose life. Do you think replacing it with {phyrexian  obliterator} is just as good (or better) than it?

[Thorn]

{Phyrexian Oblitorator} is the biggest pain in the whole universe!
Especially with {Dark Ritual} you can play it on turn 2!

That's a good point ( I can't believe I forgot about dark ritual lol one of the best black cards ever bc it can plug into any black deck IMO) but thanks for the advice lol

No prob.

Another of my fav cards is {Bomehoard} because with all the creatures being discarded and killed it gets huge quick.

You're right. With {phyrexian obliterator}, {bonehoard} looks like it could get big quick, and then add in discard and the fun continues lol
Good call

{Livewire Lash} does basically the same thing for you.

{Bonehoard} seems to be a more effective option because it grows fairly quickly assuming a T1{despise} T2 {Phyrexian obliterator} and a T3 {gatekeeper of malakir} ( kicked) and then a T4 {bonehoard}

I refuse to vs you.

A lot of people in my playgroup do because I have a burn deck and a deck that uses an infinite{ mindslaver} lock combo lol
I don't know if I would be luck enough to get that hand, but If I equipped {bonehoard} to the {phyrexian obliterator} a lot of people would scoop then and there lol
