Dispossess

Sorcery

Choose an artifact card name. Search target opponent's graveyard, hand and library for any number of cards with the chosen name and exile them. Then that player shuffles his or her library.

berryjon that is an absurd request. you never mentioned anything about "mono black" (or mono any other color for that matter) until now. if you want to play a mono colored deck while full well knowing its weaknesses, thats your own fault. and the "no dipping into artifacts" restriction is also absurd. even a mono black deck can use Universal Solvent .

that being said, i'll acquiesce your request just to prove a point. here are mono black cards that can get rid of artifacts.

  1. Braids, Cabal Minion . this gal could even be your commander. black has ways to reanimate your creatures, and theres always Crucible of Worlds to get back your lands.

  2. Curse Artifact

  3. Dispossess

  4. Divest

  5. Gate to Phyrexia

  6. Phyrexian Tribute

these are just the ones that mention artifacts specifically, but theres also the plethora of discard spells you can use to pluck out the Vedalken Orrery before your opponent even plays it. i could also get into the colorless nonartifacts that can remove artifacts, such as Scour from Existence , which technically meets your requirements of "no dipping into other colors or artifacts themselves".

and last but not least, i also found multiple "enchant artifact" enchantments that deal automatic free damage to the controller of the enchanted artifact during their upkeep. so lets not pretend mono black doesn't have answers.

by asking me to show you examples of monoblack artifact removal, you're basically saying that "if a mono colored deck can't answer a thing, we should ban the thing". thats ridiculous.

Machi_Machiavellian... throw in a couple Gideon of the Trials to crew Heart of Kiran. This combo alone is what prompted me to run Dispossess in my deck, Negative Creep Modern when it was a standard deck. The Gideon/Kiran punch is pretty irritating.

Trying a new configuration of sideboard today... removed Temporal Extortion and Dispossess for 3x Scarscale Ritual and one more Assassin's Trophy.

Going into FNM:Modern tonight, I think my maindeck will have Ambush Viper replaced by Duress for recon and I'm sideboarding Damping Sphere in place of Dispossess. I've also considered mainboarding Wickerbough Elder in place of Necroskitter, but it depends on the representation of Control decks vs Token decks. Tron is the only deck that is giving me issues at the moment. I need to find a good balance between being prepared for it and handling all other threats.

Gotta spread the mono-black love, so +1 from me. Here are my suggestions for this budget build.

  1. The maindeck seems pretty solid, although you might want to swap out Alms of the Vein with something like Victim of Night so you have a bit more creature removal against decks like Jund.

  2. In the sideboard, if you are going to play a 4-mana card that steals something from the game, just play Memoricide or Cranial Extraction that way you don't have to worry about artifacts with Dispossess.

  3. Your sideboard seems a bit off, might I ask why we are playing Needlebite Trap? If your worried about lifegain matchups (if thats prominent in your meta), you could play Tainted Remedy. I also think a sweeper or two might be good if decks like affinity are in your meta.

  4. To the Slaughter should be Hero's Downfall in my mind, or at least an upgrade option, if you wanna kill things like Karn Liberated that come up in the top-deck game, make it so that it's good against cards like Bloodbraid Elf as well.

Like the build though, and nice touch with Liliana's Caress, let me know how this deck does!

Deck seems nice !

Looking ok against wrath effect against your board, you may want to add a bit of draw in the main board ? I'm also not a big fan of running Phylactery Lich with only three artifacts in the deck, the chance you get one and not the other are really high.

Want do you want to hit with Dispossess in your sideboard ? I don't see that many important artifact threat to get rid of, except maybe Aetherflux Reservoir. Am I missing something ?

Dispossess is the only thing that hits the gearhulks or vehicles out of my opponent's decks in U/w or the r/b aggro it's narrow which is why it's in the sideboard. The lotus makes my stongholds better I can double my Mana without having to tap the swamps and turn 6 kick a josu vess with a land drop but I see your points.I've been thinking of dropping whisper and adding a second josu. Thanks for the input I'll see about trying your suggestions this Friday

I haven't played Standard in well over a year, but I'll do my best:

  • If you're concerned with Approach, more hand disruption might help, as well as more early plays to get some extra damage in. 1-2 copies of Unburden could be useful, and Miasmic Mummy pulls double duty
  • Against aggro, more early plays will help. I recommend Miasmic Mummy again since it can block an early creature and pre-emptively stop a future play. I also recommend upping the count of Fatal Push
  • Adding more cheap creatures also provides more ammo for Whisper, Blood Liturgist if you decide you want to have another copy of her for more consistency
  • Settle the Score doesn't do enough to help your plan to justify how slow it is. Replace it with more copies of Fatal Push and/or Vraska's Contempt
  • Gilded Lotus doesn't seem to help your plan at all. I think you'd be much better off replacing them with more Swamps. That will help you hit your land drops more consistently and makes Cabal Stronghold slightly better
  • Replace Soul Salvage with Wander in Death as a straight upgrade, just in case you get into a situation where you need some other card more than the normal effect
  • Taking out The Eldest Reborn and Duress will weaken your options against Teferi decks and other control decks, so consider that issue before doing it
  • Morbid Curiosity and Fortuitous Find don't do anything for you. Take them out of the sideboard
  • Is there a specific deck that makes you want to include Dispossess in the board? If not, consider taking it out
