Yay! Mono-Black Control! Basically just shoot stuff until turn 5/6 then finish it of with Doom Whisperer and Dread Shade. Dread Shade pump ability makes it a bomb finisher and usually you can swing for >10 if you get your Stronghold online. Its "good game" if you can flip the gateway with him on an empty board.

Azor's Gateway   is our only card draw other than The Immortal Sun but but I couldn't find any cards to fill that role? That can be a big problem sometimes.

The Immortal Sun Also makes 0/1 tokens into threats, plus the card draw is usually a killer. I have milled myself though. (twice. yikes!)

So far it is decent, best matchup by far is mono green, but it struggles versus control decks. Is there any way to A: find more card draw and B: improve control matchups?
