Belzenlok, Demonlord The King of Urborg, Evincar of the Stronghold, The Eternal Patriarch of the Cabal, Master of the Ebon Hand, And now Mindslaver

If you love all the nasty stuff black can do, this deck is for you. Here is the strategy, it's very simple. First of all get bunchs of mana and then destroy as much as you can with demons, eldrazis, doom, big spells and more insane things.

As a good friend of mine said, there are two kind of decks: The ones made to fucking burn everything, and the ones to stop the fire others are making.

Well Belzenlok is here to summon the scariest shit and set the whole universe on fire.

Ramp, first things first

Ramp (30 cards) is the first step to bringing demons out of everywhere, this deck is meant to ramp from turn 2 to 4-5 and then puke all the grotesque cards, and when you run out of cards simply cast your commander. Some of the cards listed here just searches for lands, which is lovely when playing monoblack. So here is a list with all the ramp:

Creatures (5): Show

• Burnished Hart
• Crypt Ghast
• Magus of the Coffers
• Nirkana Revenant
• Solemn Simulacrum

Artifacts (14): Show

• Caged Sun
• Everflowing Chalice
• Expedition Map
• Gilded Lotus
• Hedron Archive
• Jet Medallion
• Mana Crypt
• Sol Ring
• Thought Vessel
• Thran Dynamo
• Unstable Obelisk
• Wayfarer's Bauble
• Thought Vessel
• Worn Powerstone

Others (5): Show

• Liliana of the Dark Realms
• Ugin, the Ineffable
• Dark Ritual
• Black Market
• Heartless Summoning (BRUTAL card in this deck)

Lands (6): Show

• Ancient Tomb
• Cabal Coffers, as Patriatch of the Cabal, Belzenlok exploits all the power within its Coffers
• Cabal Stronghold, within his fortress in te realm of Urborg not only misteries but darkness is hidden
• Myriad Landscape
• Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
• Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, after he left The Abyss Urborg became home for pur hero: Demonlord Belzenlok who abusing from his dominion as Patriarch of the Cabal to reach the power held within the Cabal Coffers manages to get insane amounts of black mana

Doom

Doom (23 cards) is the one and only goal for Demonlord Belzenlok. Winning feels great, but have you ever tried playing the most insane and brutal cards? Well that's all about this deck, Belzenlok is the Doombringer, through portals like Planar Bridge or Erratic Portal he summons the darkest beings of the universe. Doom can bear many shapes, it might come in form of demons, eldrazis, big spells (main win con), or oblivion:

Creatures (8): Show

• Archfiend of Despair
• Demon of Dark Schemes
• Pestilence Demon
• Demon of Dark Schemes
• Vilis, Broker of Blood
• Sheoldred, Whispering One
• Emrakul, the Promised End
• Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger
• Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre

Big Spells (3): Show

This spells are the main wincon and also the best way to see everyone suffer, thats why Boseiju, Who Shelters All is crucial.

• Exsanguinate
• Torment of Hailfire
• Rise of the Dark Realms

Oblivion (16): Show

Oblivion is control at it's scariest, as you might notice there is no spot removal but mass destruction. The deck really gets in trouble with enchantments (as all monoblack decks), lucky on us we have eldrazis and planeswalkers to help us.

• Nevinral's disk
• Damnation
• Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre
• Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger
• Pestilence Demon
• Demon of Dark Schemes
• Sheoldred, Whispering One
• Karn Liberated
• Ugin, the Ineffable
• Ugin, the Spirit Dragon
• No Mercy
• Pestilence
• All Is Dust
• In Garruk's Wake
• Mutilate

Protection and lifegain

Protection and life gain (8 cards) are crucial in a deck where not only everyone tries to kill you, but you also damage yourself. Most of the damage dealt to you is dealt by you. But every sacrifice has it's reward, in this case the reward is doom. Too much talking so lets see the protection and lifegain cards:

Protection (4): Show

• Platinum Emperion
• No Mercy
• Glacial Chasm
• Maze of Ith
• Akroma's Memorial
wich gives us the chance to be very agressive (imagine annihilating with haste and vigilance) while being protected

Lifegain (5): Show

• Exsanguinate
• Crypt Ghast
• Gray Merchant of Asphodel
• Whip of Erebos
(this card in here is gamechanging, not also stops Demonlord Belzenlok's ETB damage. It's insane, you can reach 100 HP with Pestilence Demon)
• Venser's Journal

Mind Control / Time Manipulation

Mind control Winning feels great, but it feels better when you make someone lose, or even win the game when controling their head. Controlling time is also a great way to make sure oblivion comes to all. Well in this deck I play one of the two packs I will now show: Mind Control and Time Manipulation.

Mind Control: Show

• Mindslaver
• Emrakul, the Promised End
• Worst Fears
• Cruel Entertainment

Time Manipulation: Show

This two card combo is always fun to play, even if you manage to get only Timesifter in play, you'll play most of the turns. Insidious Dreams can tutor for any pile of cards so you put timesifter first and then some heavy CMC cards so you become the only one playing.

• Timesifter
• Insidious Dreams

Hope you like it, I'm a bit tired now, bye.
