Need Critique From FNM Players
Deck Help forum
Posted on Aug. 1, 2012, 1:14 a.m. by extion
I've been busy at home, and not able to make it to any FNM's recently. Not sure of what's doing well out there or what to expect. Usually, when I feel I've made an awesome deck at home, I end up getting womped at FNM.
Well, in preparation for RtR, I've created a deck with cards only found in Innistrad, Dark Ascension, Avacyn Restored, and M13. I want to focus on these cards because I feel I will have a slight edge when RtR comes out.
But, I still need suggestions on what changes I should consider making, and what type of decks are really doing well out there that I might have to face.
Any comments would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Thanks for the input! Can you give me some examples of key cards that players are using for mono-black control?

I just checked your black deck deck:demonramp-with-some-added-fun. If these are the kind of decks you're talking about, then I think I can work with it. I'm thinking I might have to add another Silklash Spider and a Gilded Lotus perhaps, for some added mana to be used with the Spider's ability to take down flying demons. I might also have to consider another Restoration Angel in the case I'm up against some Treacherous Pit-Dweller s, so I can steal 'em. =P

The big players in Standard are still Delver decks, G/R ramp/aggro decks, and Reanimator/Solar Flare decks. If you go to a standard tournament, expect to see a lot of these.
If you can deal with Delver's tempo, G/R's consistent damage output, and Reanimator/Solar Flare's staying power, then you will be in good shape.
Against Delver, look out for Delver of Secrets Flip , Restoration Angel , Mana Leak , Vapor Snag , and Geist of Saint Traft .
Against R/G ramp/aggro, look out for Rancor , Hellrider , Primeval Titan , Wolfir Silverheart , and Huntmaster of the Fells Flip
Against Solar Flare look out for Sun Titan , Unburial Rites , and Phantasmal Image
Against Reanimator look out for Griselbrand , Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite , Unburial Rites , Wurmcoil Engine
With the popularity of Blood Artist , you may also have to look out for Blood Artist , card:Geralf's Messenger, Diregraf Captain , Gravecrawler , Phyrexian Obliterator decks as well.

My demon deck isn't really control. It's more aggro if anything. Mono-black control favors killing all of your creatures and draining the life out of you. It's mostly every black kill/sacrifice/boardwipe card out there with creatures to do added damage (like Blood Artist ).

Mono-black control is becoming pretty popular now. It's scary.
