Deck Description

I love black. It's just such a swell color. Like, go ahead, play what you will, but I'll blow it up. It's just such a solid color. And with the new obliterator... mmm.

So, here's my shot at MBC post-new phyrexia.

Deck discussion for Phyrexian obliter-hater.

Ok, I like the deck overall. I really do, so understand that I'm not trying to be a total downer on MBC as you read my following comments.

As standard is right now, I just don't see any reason to run mono black. Yes, Obliterator is awesome. Yes, Gatekeeper is great. And yes, they all have crazy heavy black mana requirements. Does that mean you need to be only black? No! Splashing blue (or red) is just far too easy right now with access to 12 dual lands (yes that is half of your land base)! So, rather than Sign in Blood, you can instead easily play Preordain. Instead of Extraction, you could have something like Mana Leak. Sphere of Suns actually makes splashing blue that much easier. In fact, if you weren't splashing blue, I'd say go with Everflowing Chalice instead anyways.
I know you had mentioned trading your JtMS but you can still play Jace Beleren as well which is a nice option, great card advantage, and preemptively stops opposing Jaces while killing them quite nicely as well.

In short, I have very little problem with most of the cards in this deck, but just see little to no reason not to run blue at the same time. Again, I do like it overall though. I don't think Surgical Extraction is all that good in the main deck, especially as a four of but I have been wrong before I guess...

I've actually thought about splashing blue.. but I don't actually intend on making this deck. I tested it online and it didn't do too well. D:

but I may add blue, because if you know me as a deck builder at all, you know blue black is my favorite, haha.
So thank you for the idea : O
