I have forsaken mono black control for the ability to deal with bonfire.... Going to test it as soon as I get my paycheck... All suggestions/critiques (especially before I splash the cash) are more than welcome :)

Deck discussion for Standard U/B control

ive been using disciple of bolas in a jund build and its been pretty nuts. might be good in combination with your token production of grave titan and talrand. another card i would recommend is shimian specter, also being used by me in a jund deck. why worry about bonfire if you remove them from your opponents deck, hand and graveyard? :P always wanted to use killing wave too as either choice your opponent makes for each creature benefits you. maybe it could replace the black suns zenith when it rotates?

Thanks for the comment :D

The Disciple's a good card and would help with setting up my hand. However my normal play style is pretty suicidal and the disciple may just push it a little too far. I may test with a couple of them anyway but we will see.

I am not worried about Bonfire in this deck with the counters and the surgical exctractions, however if I end up returning to mono-black i will certainly add them in.

I tried out killing wave, and it was alright, and I prefer Black Sun's, but if no good sweepers are printed in Return to Ravnica I may have to give it a second look.

Once again, thanks for the comment though :D

Oops read the disciple wrong... I thought you lost life.... Hmmm I may have to test with it and see how it goes... The card draw is amazing and the life gain is just a bonus
