So now that Monoblack is uncool again I can finally go back to playing my favorite colour.

I think this actually might work pretty well, still haven't tested it out though. The idea is to cause discard and kill stuff, filling up my graveyard for Empty the Pits.

Liliana Vess in general pulls a lot of work here, allowing me to use singles of several cards which she can find for me, and/or keeping the discard game up late game.

Will have to play around a bit with the removal suite to see what really works in the new standard, it feels pretty good though.

Disowned Ancestor is there to just generally wall shit out and grow bigger if I have nothing else to do with my mana.

Comments and criticism welcome. Monoblack shall rise again!
