_------_
""Self Acclaimed"" as:
- A Fun! - MTG Arena Ranked playable, Standard Deck.
Close to mono Black With a tiny splash of (Azorius?)
>
Being an MTG Arena Deck, it will probly change alot, and often.
The deck I have assembled at this moment:
In it's core aspects, and supporting elements, has a Medium to Low cost/curve.
The Win Cons are just a touch more "expensive" but, in my opinion, very synergistic and Worth it.
Ive found that the creatures of this Deck, in combination with all of the supporting
enchantment//instant//sorcerys,
All cooperate with eachother very well.
They unanimously move towards the point//mission of this Deck.
Often interacting with eachother, and even themselves, to completely get rid of any board presence your opponent had and do large amounts of damage.
sometimes, almost unexpected ammounts of damage.
:p
._. .. ._. ..

The Main
Features
of this Deck
>> 1.Cheep Creatures, ETB's, Sacrifice effects, And Leaving the Battlfield effects.
Be the quickest
Cast more than one spell per turn as soon as possible.
Survive Until mid//late game..
>> 2.Trade Your Creatures!
Cause your Opponent to Suicide from Combat or force a sac on everything they have.
>> 3. There is Alot of Recursion and Synergy.
It can add extra lives,
Temporarily Saving your creatures from the Graveyard or creating token copys that are just as capable.
> 4.Get Ahead of the Competition
>> Stay Ahead!
> 5. Later on Win Cons
And
-
Requires Creatures in Your Graveyard
It's easy to overwhelm when there are Zero Opposing forces left on the Battlefield.
> It Can be Incredibly satisfying to force your opponent to sacrifice Three or more Creatures in one turn,.. Or In one Phase! (Hat Trick!!)
>> Especially if there are
really.
>> big ones.
=D
Because BlacKBaD_ Is a very interactive Deck,
There are a fair ammount of "Life or Death" decisions made in each game.
While playing through these cards, mistakes and missplays are how you find Death.
Wich I find quite entertaining. >>When playing against what I would call an "even match"
you really only die from missplays or incorrect "reads" of what your opponents next move(s) are.
Previous to brewing this Deck, I was playing in Standard - Ranked with an Azorius, Brutal Control, Deck that I had strung togeather :
(Wich I find to be a more "stable, win oriented Deck".)
>> But Dream Control Crew_ could also use some advice, for a few tweaks and swaps, so if you want to head on over there and leave a comment on what you might change, that would be very welcome :)
Lately,
I have been having much more fun Making the decisions put forward by BlacKBaD_
I'm Thinking it's Worth it to take the time to arrange.
If you play MTGArena, you probly have most of thease cards. They are easily enough found.
I'm having alot of fun over here
=D
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A few of my attempts trying to work this deck out, have been, Underwhelming... Frustrating even..
There's alot of Aggro in my current Ranked meta.
It is Not the greatest Deck if you need to win every match in a row.
against quicker decks.
(There's also this one Nissa deck that pops off to tens to hundreds of mana by turn 5, that gave BlacKBaD_ some trouble.)
It's no "Alpha-Omega" but its a Deck that does have its B eautiful moments. ;)
Doing Fairly Good Through the Midrange.
With all of the sac//combat trick effects.
Outplaying most "Hard Carry" Late game Decks, Easily.
It's Very Important to Mulligan as much as you Need too.
>> Mulligan
And.. Mulligan Again
IF YOU HAVE TOO..
Mull to ; 5 and .,. 4 ,.
(At 3 cards kept, I'd probly Forefit)
>> If you are going to be Trapped, Having not enough lands to play (most) of what's in your hand.
Especially after the Mulligan's discards
It was not a very good hand to keep.
----__--------___----
>> Going up against: Aggro,

OR
There is a bit of a Sore-Spot Weakness with this Deck.
Against :
> Rather Quicker, More curve-streamlined, Mono
LifeGains.
> Lifegains with supporting planeswalkers such as:
1.Ajani, the Greathearted
, 2.Vivien, Champion of the Wilds
, 3.Vivien, Arkbow Ranger and Even some
, 4.Sorin, Vengeful Bloodlord's
>> They seem to Absolutely Stomp on BlacKBaD_
Or
They Just Barely manage to kill you.
Right at the moment you thought you could turn it around....
Mono Does the same, for the most part, as the ajani's. Getting the kill against me just when I think I'm ok.
Usually Just as im stabalizing.
The opponent uses evasion and pushes for a Base Trade situation.
I'm unable to prevent the damage or gain enough life to mitigate it in the immediate moments, and , Dead.
(Turn 3-5 when they're able to get out one or Multiple Cavalcade of Calamity's and a nice creature, or two, facilitating it.)
Some mono reds can really punish you with simply Grim Initiate and Cavalcade of Calamity + Chandra's Spitfire
>> Death by These aggro's can be frustrating, but keep at it!
>> Almost every one of my losses, that I have accumulated playing with this Deck_, have come from some form of Aggro.

Going off of roughly 75 games of playthroughs with this set up..
> You should be looking to play into quickly forcing the scenario of:
Making your opponent attack//block and die
or giving them no such choices
Only the decision of; what to sacrifice.
>> Nearly Every turn should have an action or decision
So...
> A Controlish
Type game.
>> Still.
>> To Posess any hopes of comimg out on Top, and clutching The Win.
> {Or Slaughter} =D
You must remain Aware, Diligent and, efficiency minded.

"Stalemate" attacks, With Death touch // Afterlife.
Any and All of thoes sorts of advantageous conditions in battle.
Make your adversary kamakazi.
THE Frequency of dead creatures should be often.
Block more often, than not.
Within reason..

>> Gruesome managerie
Does take away from the Graveyard pile, with force,..
But,
Most of the times that I have gotten to put Gruesome managerie into action
Efficiently//Effectively,
It was so I could straight out win, or trade-off all three of the Reanimated creatures immediately.
I'm considering sideboarding Managerie but its holding its place for now, as semi useful.
