Trying to mimic the last deck I made back in 2000 into the modern format with B/R instead of mono black. I will create/share the mono black version I had which I do not think would work in Legacy now. Keep in mind...we were just kids back then. Liliana's Caress replaces Megrim. reforge the souls replaces Memory Jar, which was restricted to 1 back then. Haven't looked to see if it still is in Legacy but I think reforge is better and you can have multiple copies. Using Geralf's Messenger instead of Hypnotic Specter, mostly for the potential 2 for 1 life loss when cast and the threat of creature damage unless path to exile hits or is countered but is really an extra that assists with the 1 drop of Gray Merchant of Aspodel and provides a creature with secondary uses. No Dark Ritual or Hymn to Tourach or tutors :( but is replaced with multiple discard spells. Thoughtseize is in the side as early life loss can be problematic as you are trying to get set up turns 1-3. The Rack is another angle. The mono black was created to punish you for "playing MTG" by hitting you from several phases of the game and this is about as close to it as I could get with the cards in modern. This is NOT meant to be an 8 rack deck. reforge the souls miracle on T3 or T4 with Liliana's Caress and/or Underworld Dreams is nasty lol, granted it is meant for a later turn. And yes, I would have Liliana of the Veil in here if I personally owned any. I had thought about trying to go BRW but it would tamper with it too much adding any white. Will have to deal with Leyline of Sanctity if played. I play them, but that is with BW tokens. I don't even know if it would be competitive but it's a different kind of deck that I haven't really seen out there...probably because it isn't competitive lol. Oh well, it's Magic and it's supposed to be fun. Please share your thoughts on this terd
