Deck Description

This is my take on Mono black in standard.

I have been testing and it seems fairly strong against the current meta.

The reason I have both zombies and vampires in the deck it to make full use of the sacrifice outlets and reanimation. This allows you to play a grindy match if you want to.

A way to make this more of a budget deck it to swap kalitas for gonti.

How to Play

Swarm the field with vampires and zombies and attack till their dead.

Sample play(s) -
Turn 1 - Cutthroat
Turn 2 - Condemned, swing for 1
Turn 3 - Discard pariah and cast for madness, swing for 5

Turn 1 - Cryptbreaker
Turn 2 - Relentless Dead/or discard a extra land or haunted dead get a 2/2
Turn 3 - Yahenni / salvation

Playing a turn 3 relentless dead is sometimes a better choice since if they decide to shock it you can return it to your hand.

A late play can involve you discarding the pariah with the cryptbreaker making a token and playing it for 3(so a total of 5) giving you another guy to sacrifice with the pariah, which can be done at the end of the opponents turn causing some big blow outs if timed right.

If the opponent is using a deck that is hard to beat you can transform it into a control deck.

Deck discussion for Mono Black Standard

The cutthroat is a little clunky but all the good vapires for one are in red so i guess i get were yoru coming from in that reguard. It seems ok, you have a two sb cards for cat lady, and dellerum. I feel like the best place for aup upgrade would be to uy some B/R duels and add res to this for things like bloodswarn for more aggro? Even being able to run shock as extra help vs cat lady.

All in all this is good though. A little underwpoered for my meta, but good overall.
