Welcome to the Phyrexian Block Party!!
Black Devotion - Phyrexian Style!
This is a modern deck that is using, no, ABUSING the black mana symbol and all his friends.
We start off decorating the dance floor with a solitary swamp. (Don't worry, there are plenty more where it came from)
On turn 2, our Party Planner, Mr. Summons,
Heartless Summoning
starts setting up the table(s) for action.
Turn 3, we contact all our rowdy friends with
Underworld Connections
, and creatures start hitting the dance floor with no mercy. When everything you cast is 2 mana less, you get to invite a lot more friends. Then again, our DJ, MC Feasty Master of the Feast may pop in or even his roadie, Desi Desecration Demon to set the party up right.
On turn 4, Miss Lillie Liliana of the Dark Realms ensures once the party starts, you never run out of Swamps.
Turn 5 brings Auntey She-She Sheoldred, Whispering One or Cousin Runey Rune-Scarred Demon out for the party. Aunty She-She monitors the door for us and makes sure when she kicks out one of the neighbor's unwelcome hooligans, one of your friends gets to come back in. Cousin Runey always brings a friend with him, sometimes even one of his triplet brothers.
But Turn 6 is when someone has to contact the authorities.
The infamous Gary
Gray Merchant of Asphodel
has been known to pop in for a quick delivery of a 9-pack of life for you, and guzzles down 9 of your neighbor's life across the street. Sometimes he has a little more, sometimes a little less (You never can tell with Gary).
Uncle Grizzy-Bear Griselbrand could also make an entrance. He has been known to bring presents (7 of them), but when he does, he drinks 7 life of yours. Don't worry, he can brew a few more for you later.
The shin-dig simply ramps up from there until someone downs the final life of the neighbor across the street. Just remember to shake his hand and offer to help him put away all of his leftovers!
Oh, yeah, be sure to hide Uncle Inquisitor's magic wand Inquisitor's Flail, so that Aunty She-She's son, Obie
Phyrexian Obliterator
doesn't get in trouble again. When he has it, he always wants to start a fight with the neighbor's friends. Goodness knows that if Obie ever gets hit hard enough, the neighbor will have throw away a lot of his stuff.
Until next time, Party On!!!
