The 1v1 version of my XHD MBC deck. This deck utilises reccurable hand disruption, land destruction and spot removal to gain the early game advantage then soft locks with Contamination, Infernal Darkness, Chains of Mephistopheles/Anvil of Bogardan, Braids, Cabal Minion/Bitterblossom/Bloodghast. From there it drops the win cons in the form of Profane Command and Exsanguinate or Xiahou Dun, the One-Eyed/ Hatred

I removed a lot of the stax effects and some of the more synergistic effects to stream line this deck to be able to compete with fast Voltron/Combo decks. After some play testing it is performing well.
