Standard Mono-Black

Gentry is basically standard with extra restrictions. More explanation about it you can find on my other decklists.

This deck's main goal is very simple: smacking early and fast. Cards like Night Market Lookout and Grasping Scoundrel are great one drops to do some early damage. The problem with one drops though is that they die very fast. That's why there are some Sky Skiff in the deck to tap our one drops and still swing in the air.

We can also use Fatal Push to get rid of some pesky blockers and still swing with our small creatures or play Supernatural Stamina to make them survive combat/deal extra damage.

In case the deck isn't fast enough I added some Bone Pickers and Gifted Aetherborn to make sure our opponent isn't thinking about blocking with his big dinos too soon.

For the rare slots i use Yahenni, Undying Partisan because it grows fastly and is very hard to get rid of. Bontu the Glorified to swing for 4 menace and especially late game we don't care about a small creature to die since we have enough of them anyway. Aethersphere Harvester also to swing in the air when our one drops would be killed too soon and gain some life in the meantime. And finally Ruin Raider since we attack every turn which makes it almost a Dark Confidant.

first AND second fnm results: 4-0 (all matches went 2-0)monthly went less and did 3-1 though this deck still kicked some serious ass against merfolk matchups
