Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is my take on a Mono-Black Devotion deck, with a fairly standard gameplan. Powered by Phyrexian Arena, use Hypnotic Specter and Nighthawk Scavenger to put pressure on your opponents, with a bevy of removal spells to deal with any pesky creatures and planeswalkers that may stand in your way. Backed up by Phyrexian Obliterator, Gary should close out the game with a massive life swing. If the going gets rough, Obliterator doubles as an impenetrable blocker, and Vampire of the Dire Moon will have opponents thinking twice about swinging with their larger creatures. As for aggro, Tymaret, Chosen from Death has your back, along with the small increments of life that Deep-Cavern Bat can chip in (aside from its normal role alongside Thoughtsieze as hand disruption.) For those excruciatingly long games where neither player can make it through the wall of blockers the other has set up, Liliana of the Veil is a one of that is sure to make your opponents scoop up and play another round. Last but certainly not least, three copies of Extinction Event can blast through boardstalls and aggro waves alike. Just be sure to count those numbers correctly, or you'll be saying goodbye to your carefully crafted board of three mana fliers.\n"}]}
