Deck Description

Mono-black standard deck heavy on the deathtouch and lifelink with some devotion and extort.

How to Play

The deck is pretty straight forward. Keep field clear with deathtouch and kill spells. Build myself up with lifelink while bleeding out the other players with extort and Sanguine Bond. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Deck discussion for Black devotion/Extort standard

too many 1 of's. pick like 4 or 5 of the best creatures and run 4 of each. idk, i can just see this deck not reaching consistency. id also say instead of boon, try deviant glee, that will contribute to your devotion and pretty much do the same thing.

I like boon for the regenerate it allows. helps to keep creatures on my side. Hopefully! I understand what you mean by consistency problems. I am noticing that on some practice draws. any thoughts on what to keep?

thrull parasite is a great 1 drop, i think you got that, plus it gave you devotion and extort all on turn 1, those are both focuses you have. i almost wanna say run more 1 drops too, and the obvious would be cackler for a more aggro 1 drop, just to have him, so then if you have your parasite and then a cackler, you can unleash and extort, and thats just pretty badass presence already. so for a 3 drop, agent of the fates looks good, but i think youre gonna wanna make him do alot of work, or maybe not, maybe hes just a good black 3 drop. he makes boon look alright, and i guess losing that 2 life makes sense since youre gaining. so maybe boon is actually a great choice! hell, make it a 4 of. crypt ghast will make everything easier to extort after early game, and make casting desecration demon and gray merchant of asphodel alot easier, even letting you extort them.

as for evertything else in the creature zone, the only one that could be a maybe if you really want a 2 drop is the screecher.

everything else can be taken out for (what i would do,) more removal. youre playing mono black, may aswell kill absolutley everything that touches the board.

im not a great deck builder, nor a good player, but i think slimming it down would make this deck a fucking powerhouse. its all about testing though.

Crackler is a great idea! I do want to keep screecher. I like the flying and extort. thanks for the comments and suggestions. Great idea!

screecher is a great 2 drop, and he totally fills the spot of a 2 drop and allows you to double extort.

my pleasure man! i know id want feedback on my decks too.
