Deck Description

This deck is just a black card love fest. I think the first magic deck I ever made was a mono black deck and I have just constantly edited and evolved it into this.

How to Play

This deck gets big creatures out fast.

As well dictate of erebos can make blood pet useful in late game for a create to sac.

I know this deck has a lot of variety to it but despite the look I have had great success and it is pretty consistent. Looking for some input on cards to add/adjust/sideboard.

Combos:
1. Blood Pet + Bubbling muck
2. Obliterator + Deadly Allure
3. Deadly Allure + Gild for flashback
4. Dictate of Erebos + Blood Pet

Thanks for looking!

Deck discussion for Black as Night

Whoah! This looks incredible!
This deck contaisn some pretty big booms, like Phyrexian Obliterator and Desecration Demon, while it has cards like Geth's Verdict and Hero's Downfall to shut down your opponent's creature support.

There are two cards that I can recommend, but I'm not sure that do they fit. Massacre Wurm and Gatekeeper of Malakir.

Thanks for the input I really appreciate it. I was thinking about gatekeeper to have more creature control and hearing the recommendation makes me want to try it out.

Never seen massacre wurm before but I think it would be a great fit in this as well if I can get my hands on one.

Thanks again!

Oh my ... a couple of black players consorting makes my chivalrous blood boil! Fiendslayer Paladin, I choose you!


Sorry, I've always been a white player at heart. Old habits die hard.

I think that Gravecrawler would love being here. If that costs too much, then maybe tenacious dead. A handy chump-blocker that doubles as an infinite source of sac fodder ... that's almost broken.

Good luck in your future battles ... evil fiends!

Black has been my color since I first started playing this game, I can totally relate to the old habits.

Gravecrawler would be awesome in this deck! I think it would work awesome with deadly allure (seriously loving this card).

Thanks for the super awesome advice and taking the time to look at my decks :).

Gravecrawler is so annoying, Wizards had to print Ash Zealot.
