Deck Description

So monoblack is my favorite deckstyle, because I love the "surrender to the black" type attitude, and monoblack control has always been a favorite archetype, so I did my best to recreate that here.

Pain seer is clearly not as good as Bob but he will have to do for now.
I love having three targeted disruption spells in standard now. These can really set your opponent back. It's a good feeling.
Kill spells out your ass. 12 targeted, two wipers. This should be able to handle any (and all) threats that make it onto the board.

I chose squelching leeches because it reminds me of a mini-korlash heir to the blackblade, who is a major powerhouse is modern MBC. While it doesn't have the cool ramp ability, it's not legendary so you can drop two at a time, which is kinda cool.
Finally, you've got waste not. It's very powerful when used correctly and it can easily win you a game, but it might also be a bit cloggy at 3. I'm not sure.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this deck. Please drop a +1 if you liked it, and leave a comment (if you didn't).
Suggestions are welcome and encouraged. I admit to not knowing Dragons of Tarkir yet very well so I might've missed something I there!
