Sideboard


Maybeboard


Part of a two part deck primer series featuring Massacre Girl, the Sweet Version is themed around black "group hug" :) (the Sick Version leans toward more oppressive griefing). Primers coming some day.

With a board wipe in the command zone, you will eventually wind up the archenemy of the table at some point. This deck tries to have fun with that by adopting a suicide black playstyle. If you don't win in a big gross way, you'll at least die quickly.

Game Plan:

Early turns are spent filling the board with small bodies which will help Massacre Girl wipe. At that point, we transition to either casting value pieces which care about death triggers, or voltron pieces which can push MG (or one of our other big evasive threats) through for the kill.

Known issues with the deck:

  • Land count. I can never cut enough other cards to make room for basics.
  • Ramp. I should at least squeeze in a Charcoal Diamond, though I have a mind to splurge on a Jet Medallion to complete Massacre Girl's magical girl transformation.

In:

Out:

  • Pestilence, repeatable on board vs Meathook's one time wipe, and with K'rrik this can be absurd, but I think the asymmetrical life swing on Meathook is worth the cut.
  • Sadistic Glee
  • Shadows of the Past, the scry death trigger is objectively better than Warlock Class' once per turn drain, but Warlock does still offer a one time card selection, and I think that Warlock's ultimate is much more viable in the deck than sinking mana into Shadows' activated ability over and over.
  • Terrain Generator, swapped in favor of Nykthos, drawing more than one land is a big ask in this deck.
  • Golden Guardian  Flip, making room for Medallion is hard, but I think that ultimately the 4+ mana category is where cuts need to come from in this deck, and further both Nykthos and Medallion incentivize more black as opposed to colorless spells. Guardian therefore is the most appropriate candidate. I love the card and it's great when it works, but it almost never performs how we want it to in this deck.
  • Vindictive Lich, this card's a house and I hate to see it go, but it also is an extra feel bad card when we wipe, so for this build it is going to the side board for now.
