Mono-Black Standard

by Sven_Untgaarde on 12 December 2012

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'm interested in going to a standard event at some point.

I had a bunch of zombies, so I made this deck. I'd like some assistance, please.

Standard, obviously.

Deck discussion for Mono-Black Standard

Always a bit risky with 20 lands, I'd increase to 22 and drop 1 Tribute and 1 Sign in blood.
Dropping 2 more spells could give you 2 Necropolis Regent which would be some nice bombs in here :) (Hm, altough they would contradict the Undying Evils..)

Looks like a good start, now just for playtesting.

Don't forget, although you're going for "mono" black, you have access to black hybrid cards (Deathrite Shaman, Rakdos Cackler, Slitherhead, etc.)

That's true.
i'm not a fan of Cackler or Slitherhead, but Deathrite always seems like a good creature slot.

Those 3 where the first that came to mind, there are other hybrid cards that could work. Cackler is crazy good in an aggressive deck, it's a 1st turn 2/2, there's verey few 1 drop 2/2's with an acceptable drawback. Slitherhead is a zombie, so it can help with the Gravecrawlers return affect. Deathrite is a good card, but I feel it doesn't quite fit an aggressive strategy.
