Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief EDH Mono-Black Control version 1.4
The main idea... well, it's mono-black control. Drana herself is a source of non-destructive removal and can be pumped high enough for a 1-shot attack. To support her thirst for mana, we'll be mana ramping, drawing cards and sweeping the way with board sweeps and spot removal.
Play this deck if you like:
- playing politics
- controlling the board state
- 1-shotting with your commander
- ramping into a huge Exsanguinate
Ramping up
One of the most obvious ways to abuse Drana is to get lots of mana, to be able to remove any creature and buff her up enough for a 1-shot kill. We run a massive suite of mana acceleration.
Cabal Coffers
+
Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
+ a few swamps +
Deserted Temple
+
Rings of Brighthearth
= infinite mana
Basalt Monolith
+
Rings of Brighthearth
+ 2 mana = infinite mana
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
Myriad Landscape
Temple of the False God
Caged Sun
Gauntlet of Power
Nirkana Revenant
Crypt Ghast
Magus of the Coffers
Burnished Hart
Liliana of the Dark Realms
Sol Ring
Gilded Lotus
Extraplanar Lens
Mind Stone
Thran Dynamo
Solemn Simulacrum
Attacking!
Since we expect to be attacking with our commander, and hopefully also keeping her alive, we've got a few pieces of equipment to aid us.
Lashwrithe
Lightning Greaves
Swiftfoot Boots
Sword of Feast and Famine
Sword of Fire and Ice
Sword of Light and Shadow
Dumping that mana
Aside from using our mana on Drana's ability, we have other sources we can dump it into.
Exsanguinate
Profane Command
(Also, any big creature)
Control
Black is host colour to a lot of removal, and keeping the board clear of threats is our main goal with this deck.
Sweepers
Nevinyrral's Disk
Black Sun's Zenith
Damnation
Mutilate
Decree of Pain
Toxic Deluge
Massacre Wurm
Steel Hellkite
Massacre Wurm
Oblivion Stone
Spot
Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief
Hero's Downfall
Malicious Affliction
Ashes to Ashes
Silence the Believers
Steel Hellkite
Strip Mine
Ghost Quarter
Noxious Gearhulk
Card Draw & Tutoring
To find answers to threats, pieces for combos, or game-finishers, we'll need a modest suite of card draw and tutoring.
Demonic Tutor
Vampiric Tutor
Diabolic Tutor
Increasing Ambition
Necropotence
Bloodgift Demon
Sign in Blood
Read the Bones
Phyrexian Arena
Promise of Power
Erebos, God of the Dead
Rune-Scarred Demon
Expedition Map
Beseech the Queen
Liliana Vess
Solemn Simulacrum
Disciple of Bolas
Utility and Other Good Stuff
Gray Merchant of Asphodel
- a smaller Exsanguinate on a stick, very vampiric!
Tree of Perdition
- take someone's life down low, VERY fast.
Heartless Summoning
- get our expensive creatures out faster for little penalty.
Sorin Markov
- put someone immediately to 10!
Sudden Spoiling
- disrupt combos, combat shenanigans, or prep for a Massacre Wurm/Demon of Dark Schemes
Maze of Ith
- keep big creatures at bay; good political card
Volrath's Stronghold
- stops someone targeting your dead stuff
Arcane Lighthouse
- helps get rid of pesky shroud and hexproof so we can kill things
Reliquary Tower
- go ahead, draw 20 cards
Vesuva
- copy Nykthos, Deserted Temple, or Cabal Coffers
Petrified Field
- because people will try and remove our land combo
Bojuka Bog
- shut down graveyard shenanigans
