Basic Mono Black Discard

by minimalistlives on 30 July 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

I was reading this article on Discard decks, and I wanted to build something new and I had a couple of these cards lying around, Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor, and Diabolic Tutor, and wanted to build a solid and simple Mono Black Discard deck. I got the rest of the cards for the deck for less than $2 a piece altogether.

I have played this deck in about 5 or six games and it is pretty solid altogether. The only thing that maybe could be added or swapped are a couple of Extort ability cards or a Drain Life, Taste of Blood, etc. Most of these cards are in here because of their low casting cost. Not a single card in the deck costs more than 4 mana, so it is very easy to get these cards out.

If anyone has any ideas for improving this deck, please let me know in the comments below, especially for permanent destruction and card searching. Thanks!

How to Play

Basically, get a couple Quests out or the Liliana's Grasp/Megrim and start getting the discarding going and the damage from discarding triggers the fun.

Ravenous Rats, Mindstab Thrulls, Liliana's Specter, and Hypnotic Specter have all been thrown in to deal damage and because they cause discard. Murder will get rid of creatures, Lux Cannon will help with anything else, and Raise Dead and Feldon's Cane will help replenish your library.

Deck discussion for Basic Mono Black Discard

http://www.mtgvault.com/blackouttuna/decks/burning-caress-discardburn/ This is my discard deck, It is super fast and very fun to play. Have a look at it if you want, it may give you some ideas. Adding red gives you access to some very powerful cards that help you win much faster, plus some good cheap removal if things get hairy. But if you want to keep it mono black I could give you some tips too.

That works. I am considering adding another color, will probably end up being white at this point because I already have alot of destruction and removal for white.

I have picked up a couple of Lux Cannons and added them to this deck, taken out the Millstones, so we'll see what happens.

Thanks for the feedback though.
