{"ops":[{"insert":"MONO BLACK: Bracket 3 Slot Holder for Mono Black in my Five Colors of Mana Deck Quintet\n\nProving that black landfall can be done and it is devastating. I originally had recursion spells but never needed them as things ping out of control quickly. Again, trying to stay away from my usual zombie lines, this focuses on the flavor of demons and sacrifice. All offense. Card draw is a limitation that has to be ramped but it runs well as is. This deck does run Bracket 3 and can hang in Bracket 4 but is not optimized to win against power players. Mono black is my main focus so in my Quintet it naturally is going to run a little stronger. Swap out the tutors and Archfiend to lower the difficulty level.\n\nWINCONS:\n\nPING: Ob Nixilis pings with all lands, fetch lands, wound reflection to add to ping value, fetch creatures, using Xu to reanimate fetch creatures and repeat, Archfiend to prevent healing and ping again\nCOMMANDER DAMAGE: Artifacts for double strike and trample\nELFBALL: Torment of Hailfire, Exsanguinate\n\nI want to thin out the artifacts but having doubles of types has allowed at least one to get pulled every third game. Until I can make draw more consistent, I will leave things like this for now.\n\nDue to a few Voltron stalls I have added some Archfiends and the Obliterator to serve as alternate commanders if Ob becomes too expensive to cast due to commander tax from removals. You now have 4-5 big swamp devotion hitters with interactions enough to last longer than the original iteration of the deck. The main goal is still fetch and destroy with Ob Nixilis. \n"}]}

Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"MONO BLACK: Bracket 3 Slot Holder for Mono Black in my Five Colors of Mana Deck Quintet\n\nProving that black landfall can be done and it is devastating. I originally had recursion spells but never needed them as things ping out of control quickly. Again, trying to stay away from my usual zombie lines, this focuses on the flavor of demons and sacrifice. All offense. Card draw is a limitation that has to be ramped but it runs well as is. This deck does run Bracket 3 and can hang in Bracket 4 but is not optimized to win against power players. Mono black is my main focus so in my Quintet it naturally is going to run a little stronger. Swap out the tutors and Archfiend to lower the difficulty level.\n\nWINCONS:\n\nPING: Ob Nixilis pings with all lands, fetch lands, wound reflection to add to ping value, fetch creatures, using Xu to reanimate fetch creatures and repeat, Archfiend to prevent healing and ping again\nCOMMANDER DAMAGE: Artifacts for double strike and trample\nELFBALL: Torment of Hailfire, Exsanguinate\n\nI want to thin out the artifacts but having doubles of types has allowed at least one to get pulled every third game. Until I can make draw more consistent, I will leave things like this for now.\n\nDue to a few Voltron stalls I have added some Archfiends and the Obliterator to serve as alternate commanders if Ob becomes too expensive to cast due to commander tax from removals. You now have 4-5 big swamp devotion hitters with interactions enough to last longer than the original iteration of the deck. The main goal is still fetch and destroy with Ob Nixilis. \n"}]}
