A Decklist: Is it Casual?
Just wanted to share my Monoblack control concoction I'm currently playing in the new standard...
---
Outthink.dec (Working Title)
---
Lands (23)
---
23x Swamp
Creatures (16 )
---
3x Akuta, Born of Ash
3x Ghost-Lit Stalker
3x Kemuri-Onna
3x Phyrexian Gargantua
4x Ravenous Rats
Other Spells (21)
---
4x Cruel Edict
3x Exile into Darkness
3x Journeyer's Kite
2x Plague Wind
2x Promise of Power
3x Waking Nightmare
4x Wayfarer's Bauble
---
The idea is to keep the board clearish with Cruel Edict and Exile into Darkness while I empty their hand via the many, many discard routes I have. Once I get to that point, I start the beats with Akuta, Kemuri-Onna, and the Gargantua... or if I failed to clear the board with the sacrifices, keep the board locked with them while I look for one of my two sneakier victory conditions: clearing their board with Plague Wind or building up a huge hand with the help of Journeyer's Kite and dropping a huge flying demon token with Promise of Power.
The main point of this post is... is this not a "casual" deck? It's not going to win any tournaments. Waking Nightmare is not the best card in the world, perse (and I shouild probably replace it with Mind Rot to keep it from being Hisoka's Defianced, but I thought, in case I WANTED to bounce my Kemuri-Onna it would be there...), and without spot removal, I lose decently often, although I have it tweaked to the point that I can handle most decks... except the ever-popular 5 Honden archetype, which I can do basically nothing but hope they get mana screwed and I make them discard their key cards.
I dunno. Discard is mean, yes, but I hadn't made a black deck in forever, and like... never a mono-black deck... and I wanted to use Akuta to great effect, so this is what came out of it. *shrugs*
Anyway, I'm off to class now, I suppose. And then POETRY! And then more class! Score! Sorry, this post was a bit pointless.
