Deck Description

That's right, I can make decks where the only color is Black without playing poxes.

First test game ended with some poor bastard rage quitting after realizing the minimum it would cost him to cast anything was six mana.

I've put Cabal Therapy in the SB after naming a bad card game one, and thus replaced it with Thoughtseize.

Magic Workstation, then Cockatrice until that died, and now back to Magic Workstation. If I ever manage to hear anything about Lotus (a system being based on the Cockatrice work, but supposedly taking a cue from MWS when it comes to artwork) that might wind up my choice.

I'll be downloading that once I finish updating Planetside 2 Dag, my group is talking about starting back up in that again, and I have ~8gb of updates ._.;

Dude, you need to get on cockatrice! I would love to play with you! I'm Alleyway Jack on there also, and I'm online all the time.

This deck looks brutal, but why Grim Monolith?

Nice. I'm quite interested to see how things go down with all the matches I need to do @_@

Grim Monolith is one of the best methods of ramp in Stax in my opinion. Metalworker takes a turn, and dies, Sol Ring is banned in Legacy, and that continues on with Mana Crypt and Mana Vault, leaving Grim Monolith the easiest accelerant for the deck. I've had opponents simply fold after opening with a Sol land, and going Grim Monolith into Trinisphere.

Jebus H what a combo =O

You, sir, are wonderfully twisted. I think I hear a kitchen table yelling at me now...

Hi Jens - the deck looks sweet, I can imagine any opponent would scoop/unplug after facing this. Good job, man.

Have you ever thought of making a Legacy Elf deck, and if so, how would it be done?

I´ve tried to make a L Elf but its kind´a all over the place. Maybe you could offer some advice?

Oh the rage, the beautiful rage they have at this thing. In anything running Black, I rate competency by the anger the first few nights of testing. This is the only deck I've had to ever surpass Contamination in that means, locking somebody out of a game by turn three is worse than winning by it I find.

I had an Intuition Elves deck once, I felt dirty for playing it(that's right, that's where I draw the line) and I'll see if I can find it for you so you can have a bit of a template if you'd like. I'll check yours when I get a minute :)

Hahaha, yeah it gives a feel of Mono Black Burn, I reckon, only this time the burning is real.

Intuition Elves, dear god I´m in for an overhaul =O

No rush, man. =)
