Deck Description

So I went to an FNM with two friends but I had forgotten my deck so I resorted to watching them play. I met a guy there who had brought his mono black deck built around Korlash, Heir to Blackblade and when I asked why he said "I wanted a break from repetitive magic, I had a playset of Korlash laying around, so I built a makeshift deck and came here." he was super cool. and reminded me that you don't need a top tier deck to have fun. I went home that evening, and looked around for deck ideas when I stumbled upon Channel the Suns and the Bringers. I thought with enough ramp you could power these guys out. So I did.

The basis of this deck is to win with any of these guys since, if they stick, give you fantastic card advantage.

How to Play

So this deck has a few key things, I added because I felt it be cool to pull off IF you can pull it off.

Maelstrom Archangel+Form of the Dragon = Hilarity.

Bringer of the White Dawn + Mindslaver = Slaver lock.

Chromanticore + anything. By himself Chromanticore is a solid card, but tacking it onto a Birds of Paradise, a bringer, or any dude swings the game heavily in your favor.

Dragonsoul Knight + Orochi Leafcaller. Ever wonder what to do with your leftover mana? Funnel it into DragonSoul Knight of course!!

Some cards I considered but didn't make the overall cut:

Worldspine Wurm: So getting to mana isn't terribly hard with this deck,but I felt that if I reached 11 mana I either lost the game, or won the game. Yes he could be cheated out with Maelstrom Archangel but even then, I have enough big dudes to play in his place.

Paragon of the Amesha: While its cool to have a big life gain beater, I felt Dragonsoul Knight becomes better in the long run.

Wurmcoil Engine: Man, I wanted more value with this deck, but I had so much. I ultimately decided on Mindslaver over Engine because its more recurrable.

There you have it, my personal pride and joy. I know it won't win any FNM's, but I think it has potential to surprise people. Any feedback is welcome. I'm sure I have a few dead cards I can cut, or change some numbers around. Thanks for reading!

Cascading Cataracts might be worth considering as a reusable source of turning mana into {W}{U}{B}{R}{G}.
