Deck discussion for Mono Black Life Drain

This deck is pretty cool. I think one thing you could add is Underworld Dreams. It would work really well with Damnable Pact, double the life loss. And it's at least a guaranteed loss of life at the beginning of your opponents upkeep (granted it's still on the battlefield).

Thanks! Ya, Underworld Dreams has nice synergy with Damnable Pact for sure. I'm trying to only use cards from the Khans of Tarkir block however, because I don't want to have to buy more cards once things rotate. Thanks for the comment!

I like this but the idea of using murderous as your only removal plus relying on palace as a way of keeping the board stable is very risky. I would put in ultimate price for precision removal and crux for large sweeps. Then you can have the option of playing both options for palace siege. I kind of would lean towards putting despise in there too for the simple fact at (1B) to disrupt an early creature play and boosting shriek/ palace effectiveness along the way.

But cool deck!

Thanks!

You have some great ideas. The idea with Palace is that I would always choose Dragons. But you are correct that adding more removal, may make that option more viable. Ya, Diplomacy of the Wastes is definitely the weakest card in the deck. I really just wanted it for an extra 2 burn, but maybe Despise will make the Shrieks better. I will have to playtest with some of the cards you mentioned and make any necessary adjustments. Thanks again!
