The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Deck Description

Threw this together when a buddy said making a mono black in standard was pretty difficult. I like challenges. Still needs some tweaks. Comments and suggestions more than welcome :D

Deck discussion for Creeping Nightmare

Making a Mono Black deck that's standard is not hard! I made Undying and Exalted mono black standard decks. In fact, I can't really help you because there are so many different possible mono black decks that I don't know where to start.
Do you have any requirements or any preferences?

no real requirements. I like the idea of forcing him to sack his creatures. I also have always been a fan of killing them off with enchantments. Like the caress combo I run in my discard/draw deck. Im fairly new to magic and this is literally the first standard deck I have ever built haha.

OK, here is the deck I have built for you that meets your specifications and preferences.

Creature (18)
4xBlood Artist
4xDesecration Demon
2xHarvester of Souls
4xSkirsdag High Priest
4xWakedancer

Enchantment (2)
2xUnhallowed Pact

Instant (12)
4xTragic Slip
2xTribute to Hunger
4xUndying Evil
2xVictim of Night

Planeswalker (2)
2xLiliana of the Veil

Sorcery (4)
4xMutilate

22xSwamps

Sideboard (15)

Creature (4)
4xGeralf's Messenger

Enchantment (2)
2xGrave Betrayal

Instant (9)
3xDevour Flesh
3xMurder
1xTribute to Hunger
2xVictim of Night

The main goal of this deck is to basically kill your opponents creatures and then use cards that benefit from creatures dying. For example, Wakedancer brings in a second creature if a creature died that turn. This pairs nicely with Skirsdag, High Priest who can bring in a 5/5 flying demon if he taps himself and two other creatures (Wakedancer) provided a creature died that turn. Blood Artist does a life gap of two whenever a creature dies. Harvester of Souls allows you to draw cards whenever a creature dies. both these cards pair very nicely with Mutilate as it can do loads of damage (Blood Artist) or make you draw tons of cards (Harvester of Souls). Unhallowed Pact adds insult to injury as not only will you kill your opponents biggest creature, but you'll steal it too! However, Unhallowed Pact can also be used on one of your own creatures in a pinch. Undying Evil is also a nice combo card for this deck. Of course you can play it on any creature. However, if you play it on Wakedancer, you are guaranteed a 2/2 zombie token. Desecration Demon gives you the best of both worlds. Even though your opponent has the option of sacrificing a creature, they lose no matter their choice.

If you would like a more budget black deck. Take a look at my Mono black Evil Never Dies deck.

So its great when you are playing someone who is running a lot of creatures. But when they are a control or burn, they beat the hell out of you and run away giggling haha.

Ok , burn I kinda saw coming, but could you be a bit more specific on what things people did that really through off your game? Also what was the win to lose ratio ?

Also, what cards do you feel were your weakest links or least useful?

Well I switched a little around, dropped one off of each of the creatures that did morbid taps, through in 2 ghasts, it increased the mana flow and made it easier to keep the punches rolling. The burn was just your standard burn but I kept drawing creature kill with no creatures to kill, not even my own creatures were showing up. And the control was a mill who just held me off till turn 10 and milled me for a 42 card mill at once. Also I put the deck on here under my decks, lets continue the convo there.

prophetic prism seems useless. Especially if used only to draw once.

His intention is to use it on his flashback costs.
