Deck Description

I may have cracked the code for a viable mono black attrition deck in the current metagame! Wtiches, Faerie, Grudge. In the recent months the only Gardens lists to go 5-0 are either very wild and experimental or run Cuombajj Withces in the sideboard as a sledgehammer against 1/1s and 2/1s of all varieties, be they goblins, humans, glutenous faeries, flying fucking rats, or racist elves.

NO HUNTER! I don't like his face. Don't like the initiative. Genuinely feel icky playing hunter. Not a fan.

There are reasons to forgo hunter besides vibes, however. You don't need to win, you just need to not lose, winning happens inevitably and accidentally. Your removal, mana base, sustain, and your opponent's patience all serve double duty as win conditions (Blade, Troll, Campfire).

You can only play the hunter when already winning, in the current metagame we have enough trouble getting to such a spot, I would rather make sure we get there than win in 3 turns once there.

How to Play

18 maindeck removal spells kind of say it all. You aim to completely collapse your opponent's strategy and then just win on accident between turns 12 and 25.

Record:
2-0 Jund Wildfire (won g2 via Ancient Grudge)
0-2 Grixis Affinity
2-1 Slivers
1-2 Gruul Ramp
2-1 Mardu Synth

2-0 Dimir Faeries
2-0 Mono Blue Faeries
2-1 Mono White Aggro
1-2 Madness Burn

Maybe a little Blood Fountain in there somewhere? Cheap, artifact fodder, recurs your big bads?

In the current metagame you'd need at least one more creature worth returning, some builds go much lower to the ground with Shambling Ghast & 4 trolls as the main win condition. Either that or a different metagame where essentially having 6 rats for the price of 3 is really really good.

Wishing blessings and good fortune to anyone who comes across this comment! Just a few months ago, my life was falling apart. I had lost almost everything after a series of failed business decisions. I was buried in debt, stressed, and unsure of how to rebuild again. I always played the lottery for fun, but as things became financially difficult, I started looking for a real breakthrough. That’s when I came across a remarkable man called Dr. Alaska, who has helped countless people around the world regain financial stability and success. He prepared a powerful spell for me and revealed a set of secret lucky numbers. I followed his guidance and played the next draw. To my absolute shock and joy, I ended up winning $350 million just like he predicted! That win changed everything today I am debt-free, financially secure, and invested in multiple businesses internationally. I truly believe Dr. Alaska is a divine helper sent into this world. Without him, I don’t know how I would have survived the darkest period of my life. If you’re going through financial struggles or need a breakthrough in any area of your life, don’t hesitate to contact Dr. Alaska. He is real, powerful, and genuinely helps people.
