MBD Splash.
Deck Help forum

I'm currently splashing U for a few reasons but I was wondering, with the return of Revoke Existence to standard should I splash W instead?
It should be noted that I have the Blood Baron of Vizkopa s and all of the lands required so it would cost me nothing but a few moments to switch it.
If you think I should splash W, help me think of a creative way to answer Blood Baron of Vizkopa other than Devour Flesh . (I mean I could use that too but I'd like to not if I can get away with it.)
Take me out to the Black... Playtest
Standard

Celestial Flare is good but usually they don't just attack with the BB, I'll keep it under advisement, man, this ain't gonna be easy... Seems like it's going to be hard to kill him. Also, WW is a pain in the ass to get sometimes.

I would agree with ShadowLand that Celestial Flare is probably your best answer to BB without blue. Far / Away is another option for the away part at least. I personally wouldn't switch if I were you. In my experience, MBD decks that splash blue are the strongest, followed by green, and then white.

True, I was just considering the fact that after to Journey to Nyx there will be 15 indestructible fatties out there...

This is a very valid point, and one of the biggest reasons I was so disappointed with BNG/Gild in the first place (not sure if you saw that thread). Black needs a way to deal with indestructible, and I'm hoping it comes in journey at least. For the time being, I guess you could consider Gild , although I think it's pretty mediocre. How taxing is your mana base? Would it be worth it to even consider splashing both? Probably not with the Mutavault , but I figured I'd ask.

It would be difficult, but not impossible. I wouldn't be able to run anything that was UU or WW but Liliana of the Dark Realms helps there, hunting for shocks.
I think I'll stick with the U splash, Rapid Hybridization is just amazing against BB.

Yeah I honestly can't believe I didn't think of that myself, thanks so much for that suggestion. Sometimes the things that are literally staring you in the face are the hardest to see.

Curse of the Swine , they do get a creature ,but a lot worse creature is gone. Its blue though.

Yea, Curse of the Swine will be getting replaced by Gild for me. The UU in the curse is actually pretty hard to come by some times.

That was my worry with it. Gild looks better anyway. Good call.
