My take on a MBC deck designed for multiplayer. I wanted to build a creatureless deck with symmetric removal and lifegain.
Cards like
Innocent Blood
,
Smallpox
and
Barter in Blood
are used to keep the opponents' creatures low, while
Bloodchief Ascension
adds the hate required in a mono-black deck ;) I'm still thinking of adding
Dingus Staff
, but while playtesting it was sitting in my hand quite a lot..
Because this is a creatureless deck, some damage will still come through and there comes the life-gain:
Syphon Soul
can already provide lots of life with a decent amount of players, as does
Blood Tithe
. I've only added two of the latter because of the higher mana cost.
Syphon Mind
is added for card draw.
Exsanguinate
can also do quite a lot of damage late game and also gains life.
Dark Ritual
is added for extra mana, as is
Cabal Coffers
, which can, hopefully, provide lots of mana late game.
Bond of Agony
finally can be painful combined with
Dark Ritual
and
Cabal Coffers
and is added as a finisher.
If I were to add a creature, it'll probably be
Abyssal Gatekeeper
, it can hold off attackers and is also nice in combination with innocent blood (same effect as
Barter in Blood
).
It's my first attempt at this kind of deck, so any input is more than welcome! Do keep in mind this is for casual play, so budget is a factor :)
