First of all don't flame please.

Second I choose to make this deck mono black becuase of space issues.

I am still at 62 cards which sucks. I have to cut 2cards from the main. Also most of the cards in the sb could be moved or switch around with the Maindeck as they are cards that just didn't make it in with the execption of Bitterblossom. I really lke sword of light and shadow right now. you can get trougha leige token pro white +3 life and getting back a confit daunt or gate keeper is really good. I would like to add green for life of loam and goyf. But there is no room and I really like the mono black cuz its original.
I didn't play during rav block but is necroplasm bad? I though he was good? sorta like kills tokens and sweeps vs zoo. He demands removal am I wrong?

any here is they deck.

Edit: I am almost sure that Bitter belongs in the main with the sword package. I really like the discard I took it from Pvs Depths deks. But I like raven's crime with dakmore salvage.

i don't really see the need for the random one ofs also urborg is legendary and salvage seems pointless. also as great a card as bloodghast is not really needed in the deck. i've been playing a similar list i would post it for you to take a look at but i am away from my computer. also fulminator mage seems forced in the deck though i unerstand why it's there. if you're playing bloodghast to work with small pox take out one gatekeeper and play a full set of ghasts. i certainly love the idea of monoblack or mostly black in extended.

Bloodgast is super good. He always picks up equipment so people have to block him. the gate keep and mage are good vs depths and like GW haterade or like anything with troll asctetic. I feel the best removal is the sac a dude cards and Pact. and I don't mind playing the pox with ghast your right about that but it is also true about the salvage to. It dredges which always lets me landfall if needed. THe edict 1 of is cuz it used to be 4 of. ANd would be if this was gonna be played irl but not on ML. Raven's crime is really good again with salvage maybe I need 2 of that card? idk Did I answer everything? Also what do you think about what I said?

Also what about Necroplasm? I know he looks bad but he also dredges?

@InWalking: 4x Urborg is for Dark Depths. Turn one, Urborg. Turn two Dark Depths, play Vampire Hexmage, Sac Hexmage to make 20/20 Indestructible token.

Won't happen consistently, but it gives the deck the threat of a turn two combo, which ain't bad.

Yes lol 4 Urborg.lol its also really good vs an oppps borg after a smallpox as another ld sudo spell.

truth is I want BB in the main so bad.lol an the crimes too.

the board is like this right now

Raven's crime are good with salvage plus I have a small curve. I need something really extra good vs control in the long game beyond ghast.

Bitterblossom they come in vs other depths decks and pretty much where getting in with the equipment is the nuts.

Leyline Dredge duh. But also for like Vaults decks and shit
I haven't tested this vs drgede yet. But I think I am ahead here like I have sac outlets for Bridges. I have discard for there good stuff like for glimpse and that shit you know.

Darkblasts are for Pvs deck and zoo cu then your winning the creuture war. I have o much good ld and small pox is retarded vs zoo.lol

I also side in 2 slaughter pact when needed but mostly zoo.

Side notes of now. I could possibly have 4 new sb slots if BB goes to main also Idk if I need the pacts only good play tezsting will tell.

your deck dies to punishing fire + grove, but I guess you try to kill the land?

I see no benefit to going mono Black (or mono anything for that matter) in this format. Its stupid-easy to splash any color, thus getting a lot more options.

Dakmor Salvage is in no way qualified for a 4 slot, especially considering you have 6 duress effects for 1, and a plethora of 2 drops.

Sword of Fire and Ice is just better than Light and Shadow, if you feel the need to play 5 equipment, play that instead.

You think Fire and ice is better in this format Yeah Punishing fire is really good. very true. But I also destroy and of lands with this deck so maybe it will netralize the fire. I chose the B/W sword because it gives prop white and black which I think are good plus the return a dude is good I have good taRGETS I THINK maybe not what do you think? Pro red or Blue is not that relevant is it and why?
