I took it to Modern last night. (My LGS does modern on Thursdays.) It turned some heads. It also went 4-1 so...Hell yeah.

What was the loss?

The bane got me. B Eldrazi

You're in good shape then. They'll be gone in a month.

Aye. Many thanks for this great fun.

Don't forget to credit me for the idea, k?

Of course. People asked about it and I gave them your name on Tappedout and the deck title. (I did alter it by one card because I don't have Kaltias) I added an extra Drana. But I still let everyone know.

Awesome. Thanks a lot Casey.

It's actually funny that I'm thinking about dropping Drana for another Kalitas. How did she perform for you?

I like her as I play the deck very aggressively though I agree it's a bit of a non-bo with Stromkirk Captain.

Still one of my favorite decks on this website. Haha. K-Command is a great card, but I agree that it does not fit here. I actually agree with you on the Drana switch, I think Kalitas is a better card here. My only issue with Drana is no haste. I realize she's busted with it, but without it she feels lackluster. Just my personal opinion.

If you hadn't noticed, I top ranked again recently. You're not alone there Scy.

completely forgot to upvote!

Tried it loved it. Kalitas is nice but it's a 4 drop and the curve is kind of high.

Yeah, that's been a bit of a concern for me too. I'm also seriously beginning to consider putting my playset of Lorwyn Thoughtseize to good use here.

I cut 2 Drana's and Kaltias for 3 Thoughtseize. Good stuff.

I thinking of slpashing white for sorin the solem visitor. he cab drop a vampire, is white and black so the right color for vampire nocturnus.

any thought on this ?

If you do, you'll also have access to Path to Exile and Blood Baron of Vizkopa if your curve doesn't mind it. Be careful of too many 4+ mana cards. 5 mana is really pushing it, and I would say no more than 8 altogether. Make sure you've got at least 12 cards that can be played turn 1, be they creatures (Stromkirk Noble is a must), hand disruption or removal (lightning bolt is still the best card in modern). You'll also have access to Anguished Unmaking. Personally, if I were to splash a third color, it would be green for the cards I previously mentioned.

Is this deck named after the black dahlia murder song of the same name by any chance?

Surprisingly no. It's in the description that it's a reference to Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest.

ah,i knew they got the name from somewhere else as well.

No deck with black in it is complete wihtout at least 300 relentless rats (totally legit :D)

I got real excited when I saw this title too seuvius Love me some black dahlia

@Caligula love the name customization you did.

Hell yeah man!
