Mono Black -- 2HG *ORIGINS INCLUDED*

Standard Devotion Mono-Black

swskeptic


Mono Black Devotion with Magic: Origins now included. The deck has come a long way and probably isn't as powerful as it once was, but now that Origins is out it's definitely getting a power boost.

I'm also considering splashing green and running some of the new elves such as Shaman of the Pack.

CHANGES:

  • Thornbow Archer replaces Disowned Ancestor for the 1-drop.

  • Despoiler of Souls replaces Ruthless Ripper, giving us a 2-drop that we didn't have before.

  • Liliana, Heretical Healer replaces two copies of Master of the Feast, giving us sweet value and a nice recursion vehicle for Gray Merchant of Asphodel

  • Erebos's Titan replaces two copies of Squelching Leeches. I would replace all of them but when Leeches gets big he swings hard and I love that. If it turns out I need the extra one devotion I'll replace all copies of Leeches with the Titan.

  • Went down to two copies of Whip of Erebos. For now it's replaced with a Sign in Blood to make sure I get the cards I need.

  • Still looking for a replacement for Fate Unraveler. I liked the value I got between him and Master of the Feast, but with fewer copies of Master I don't see as much of a need for Unraveler. Any ideas?

This decklist is only a prototype. I do not yet own most of the new cards.
