Far // Away in Mono-Black Devotion?
Standard forum

To all of my fellow Mono-Black Devotion players out there, let's face it. Blood Baron of Vizkopa destroys us. That protection from black is just killer.
Now, I've noticed that many decklists are running a playset of Devour Flesh to deal with Big B, which is effective indeed. However, I've been wondering if it would be better to splash a bit more blue (through Watery Grave) than just Temple of Deceit and run Far / Away in the mainboard instead. My reasoning is that instead of having one spell to deal with Blood Baron, F/A essentially gives us two by letting us bounce it with the first mode, plus it let's us still force sacrifice it like Devour, but without them gaining life and making it harder for us to kill them.
People of Tapped Out, what do you think? Discuss.

I would advise doing so, I do in both my black decks. Far also can be used to bounce Gray Merchant of Asphodel for a 2nd etb.

I play chavest control in standard ( useing big b ) and I find that far//away is bitch. I think it should be main but no more than 3 and if mono black is gonna go with a little blue try Disperse also.
