Never knew historical relevance was a consideration when building decks. Now I know!

And what is the next deck to doctor?

Quick idea… would Helm/Void be a decent mono B win condition? The deck still has a lot of 3+ mana tutors at its disposal. Also, I think once you get away from the Swamp-matters theme that you are not playing mono B control.

I look forward to playing you in a few weeks, Plej.

I for my part have fond memories of mono black decks since the old days. I know that they are not the best choice considering the bannings and metagame but I will still try this deck and suffer through the consequences. Have fun!

Man… I never knew you guys before this truce, but it brings a tear to my eye to see such civil discussion.

The question of whether the high swamp count is worth it is interesting. Corrupt and Coffers are so sweet when they work that it’s easy to assume they have to be there.

I am certainly interested in trying out the white and/or green splashes in a build similar to the revised, more focused build listed here. After I’ve had a run with this particular list, I’ll try it out.

One additional benefit of a high swamp count: it makes the deck cheaper to build.
