I value politics and inter-personal dealing in an EDH game.

The original form of my Seizan deck was about hitting opponents with card draw damage. Yes, they were getting hit for 3 to 5 damage per card draw, but that wasn't enough damage. It only made the whole table mad. I found that while the card draw was nice and allowed for some interesting politics, it was the mono-black value cards which were putting in the hard work of fighting the whole table when the other players eventually got made of being nickled and dimed by card draw damage.

So I'm trying to keep the "I'm here to help, but it'll cost you" element that Senzan brings while shifting from card draw damage into mono-black value.

Black ramp, mid-range, reanimation, demons, and devotion are a few of the themes I've attempted to go from here. Thoughts and opinions are welcome.

The "maybe board" is just a place to store cards I've been toying with in my head. So many good value options in mono-black that you really do just have to sit there and think about your options all in one place. "Side board" is cards that are likely going to get swapped into the "Main deck", just haven't figured out which swaps to make.
