Deck Description

I've been modifying my Korlash deck for a while now. This is the current version.

Main goal, use Korlash's Grandeur to get swamps out an fuel creatures and damage spells.
Soul Stair Expedition and Revive the Fallen to return Grandeured Korlashes to hand to Grandeur them again.
Dimir House Guard to transmute for Korlash, Lashwrithe or Tendrils of Corruption, but can also be cast and equipped with Lashwrithe to take advantage of its fear ability.

I know Damnation would be better than Infest, but I don't own any Damnations.

Deck discussion for Black Mana Acceleration

Definitely Some Damnnations. Though Infest is nice for your token/weenie variations. You can spit it out a turn faster than a Damnnation if you need too. I like this deck though, looks like it would play well and wreck havoc if left unchecked. How has it played for ya?

I sould really post the latest version of this. I got a set of Mutilate as my board sweep, and a few other changes.

As for how it plays, it's very slow at the start, but if you're still alive on about turn 5+, the lifegain should be significant to turn the tides in your favour. The biggest annoyance is how the lands get bunched together, but I guess that's to be expected with any deck based on land search :|

Yeah I can see the slow ramp, but like you said, by turn 5 or 6 this thing should just explode with wtf all over your opponents face. lol I like the mono-black that's not like all the other mono black decks out there. Show up with something different that looks the same as everyone else and they'll freak. lol I like the concept you have though. Have you considered a playset of Jet Medallions to act as a faux-mana ramp?

This deck was designed for Modern (adding the tag now), so no Medallions :(

Mutilate or Liliana of the dark realms would be nice here I think.

Got Mutilate in the version I run (That I still have to post, just lazy).

That version of Lili doesn't work that well in here. Her +1 puts the land in hand, thus reducing the number I can search for with Korlash and Wayfarer's Bauble (that I've replaces the Twig with). without the +1, her -3 becomes a once off effect, and I prefer the life Tendrils of Corruption gives. As cool as the -6 mite be, I have no use for the extra mana by then.
