Deck Description

Deck I sometimes run in Modern

Edit (31 March 2015)
Want to test out a different removal package, so I removed Go for the Throat and Tendrils of Corruption and replaced them with Dismember and Bile Blight.

How to Play

Heartless Summoning and / or Wayfarer's Bauble to play big creatures earlier than normal.

Phyrexian Metamorph to make copies of any creature other than Sheoldred. It can also copy artifacts.
- Copy Grave Titan to increase token swarm.
- Copy Kokusho to drain 5 life (keep original Kokusho)
- Copy Massacre Wurm for both its ETB and 'when opponent's creature dies' effects. Nice to get 2 Wurms in 1 turn for a total of -4/-4 :P
- Copy Lashwrithe to get an extra Lashwrithe to beat face with.

Mutilate is more than a board wipe here. Use it with Kokusho and / or Massacre Wurm out to push for more life drain / loss.

And that's all ignoring the fact that the creatures are big.

Deck discussion for Heartless Black (Modern)

Nice, I like the concept. I always thought it would be fun to make a deck around Heartless Summoning. Ever consider using Desecration Demon or Myr Superion? Myr Superion does kind of rely on Heartless Summoning to come out but Desecration Demon would work great I feel. Cool deck man.

I tried to design this so it can run without Heartless Summoning, hence the Wayfarer's Bauble. So, sadly, as awesome as the Myr is, I'd rather not sit with a potentially dead card. The Demon is nice, but I'm not found of the tap effect.

I would replace the bile blight with victim of night. I think it would be more reliable.

Otherwise, I love the crap out of this thing.

One of our club members plays vampires regularly and another often plays a zombie based mill deck, so Victim of Night might not be that good a choice... at least not as a main board card. I'm keeping Go for the Throat as an option because we don't have many members playing many artifact creatures.

Thanks for the like :D

A copy or two of disciple of bolas might be good here for a new handful of cards and some life.

I hate top decking.
