'The Ebon clan'

Decided I'd try making a deck based mainly on card with the word "Ebon" such as 'ebon dragon' & 'Ebon hand'. I would like to hear some deck suggestions(sideboard are cards i've considered so far) To how you would make a deck where you had to include at least 1 of each of the 12 cards including ebon/ebony at the mainboarded.

The amount of lose life is my biggest concern atm, du to being short on ideas for mass multiplayer



Edit: made it to 60, requesting feedback

you're deck won't be able to play it's high mana cost cards (cc 5+) on 20 land. You'll get stuck at 3 land, maybe 4 and you'll start missing a lot of land drops.

The way I used to accelerate my mana in mono black (it's been a while since I've played this type of deck/format) was using Korlash, Heir to Blackblade, Cabal Coffers and Lord of the Undead. That provided me with a lot of mana fast but it doesn't really fit your theme. I also like Mind Stone in black decks as it accelerates me 1 turn and late game can be sacked for a card if you no longer need the mana.

Well, perhaps I should replace the Thrulls with Dark Rituals?

"Korlash, Heir to Blackblade"
Looks great for another deck I've been making, however why the heck "Zombie" -_-
One of the creature types I like the least in mtg is Zombies and it just appear to be the most common creature type in black :/ (Even other types of undead like Ghouls, Wights and the like are Zombies in mtg -_- )

Anyway the other deck idea is based on Warhammer armies Warriors of Chaos and Visually "Korlash, Heir to Blackblade" fit that greatly(I suppose he could fit a Nurgle lord, Worshipping decay and sickness and being "blessed" with such might not be to far from a Zombie i suppose)


Done he'll take the lord spot and an enchantment spot from that deck.
Previously had "Zulaport Enforcer" as the "Lord" or rather flavor of trained from a warrior to exalted hero to lord, now he'l start out as a lord.


Anyway here's the other deck

That's one is an 80 cards deck, from experience it's my prefered deck size giving variation without being to big. It's great to hear other point of views, especially since I hardly ever play competivly but rather casual play and rarely 1v1(free for all, 2 headed giant, Star(most common), Arch Enemy, Emperor, 3 headed, 2v2v2, 7 pointed star & rarely 5v5 are the ones i most often play)
1v1 I do about 5 games a month aside draft.
