Mono Black Control

I have a feeling MBC will be a very powerful deck now with all the help from NPH. This is my take on it and I would really appreciate everyones take on it :)

the blue splash seems pretty bad, adding the darkslick shores just makes your lashwrithes weaker.

yeah i agree that darkslick shores weakens the deck, its sole purpose is so i dont have to pay 2 life 100% of the time for spellskite(or my sideboarded phyrexian metamorph). do you think its worth keeping them in just for that, or should i go all in on swamps?

It really depends. If you really want the blue splash (and you really don't want to pay 2 life for each spellskite activation) then you could do more with it, but that's a different deck and it would not run lashwrithe. On the other hand, you could cut the skites and go all in with swamps so that your lashwrithes are always full power. I don't really know if playing metamorph's worth it, I haven't tested the card at all.

i was thinking of removing them, but i have no idea what i would replace them with that could be as versatile. any other cards you can think of? btw im trying to stay away from any cards pre m11 for main board at least

locking yourself out of zen block is pretty dangerous I think, you miss some big numbers with Mind Sludge, Vampire Nighthawk and Gatekeeper of Malakir.

alright i took the spellskites out for nighthawks (and blue splash for swamps). what do you think about the hex parasites tho? should i drop them for some other creature?
