Deck Description

This is my take on standard zombies, I'm keen on trying this baby out on my local FNM this friday. I am in LOVE with its powerful early game.

Do give this deck a like, draw a hand, throw me a comment on what you think may need improvement or if you simply like it. Cheers!

Great deck since you are running so many swamps consider running Liliana of the Dark Realms instead of Liliana of the veil and Mutilate as an additional way to control you opponents.

I think it could work. But would it be worth it?

Lashwrithes are great in mono black before they rotate anyway.

I have considered them, but would it be worth to put in 4 of those along with phylactery liches?

The Liches might actually work pretty well because you also have Mortarpod. In my list the only artifacts I have are Lashwrithes and Vault Skirges, so I decided not to find a place for them, because having one with a counter on the Vault Skirge is just too fragile and the lashwrithe is a 4 drop so it would mess the curve up. In your case though, you have mortarpod as a 2 drop so with the right hand it would work great.

But even with that in mind, you don't need the liches to make lashwrithe good. It shouldn't be underestimated. It can take a mana flooded situation and make it into almost a good thing because they can get ridiculously huge.

Also depending on your play group, you might want to consider Porcelain Legionnaire in the sideboard because I am also mono black and several people in my area run Mirran Crusaders and Swords of Feast and Famine and both of those can make the game pretty much over.

Do you have any mana issues with the titans and only running 21 lands?

I know there is a lot to read there. I hope some of it helps. haha

Heck, I don't like the liches, due to them being so dependant on artifacts. I might aswell get phyrexian obliterators and phyrexian metamorphs instead, hah. :)

The lashwrithe is an amazing artifact, and I have had moments where I go "This 2/1 gravecrawler vs. my opponents wolfir silverheart, huh? I could use some bigger creature." So I suppose lashwrithe would do good. But the question is, what should I replace it with?

The sideboard tip is great, quite a few play mirran now that ajani came along. Thanks for the tip!

Also, no, I haven't had any issues with the titans as of yet. Since they are only 2, they drop out when they should, and when they do.. gee, they turn the tables. :)

This deck seems awfull...


...y brutal & sick..

I say this everytime I see a Phyrexian obliterator..that dude is just too crazy..

U had any problems getting him on the table in time because of him being 4B?

Have u thought of Liliana of the dark realms? well scrap that i had another look on your lands! Its fine!

Have u had the opportunity to try this deck out yet IRL?

I would prolly go with 4 Metamorphs & 2 Mortar pods! The more Obliterators on the table the funnier it gets!

I'd drop the Obliterators to 2 if your meta has a lot of control, or dont expect them to hit the field and stick. Lashwrithe + Obliteartor is GG but more often than not, overkill. I keep 2 on my sideboard, and more often than not, they're not needed unless its against Wolf Run or Mono Green.

I play zombies too and this is what I'd do
-2 Obliterators
-1 Tragic Slip
-2 Duress
-2 Cemetary Reaper
-1 Swamp

+3 Blood Artist
+3 Geth's Verdict
+1 Laswrithe
+1 Lilliana of the Veil

as far as the SB

- 2 Mutilates
- 1 Lilliana of the Veil
+1 Surgical Extration / Sever the Bloodline / Memorcide - since youd be MB 3 LIlliana
+ 2 Black Sun's Zenith

and depding if you side in Laswirthe or not, I'd mainboard the Cavern of Souls.

Just my .02
