Moss Agate (A.K.A. Rock Lite)

Standard BG (Golgari) Competitive

bathsheba


Sideboard


This is purely theory-crafted as of the moment, as I have no budget to purchase these cards nor do I have a computer on which to test this deck. That being said, this is something I conjured up for the standard season.

Den Protector and Deathmist Raptor are a nice tag-team. 5 mana for a Regrowth, a 3/2, and up to four 3/3s that trade up. That's value!

Rakshasa Deathdealer causes headaches for early attempts at removal. Thoughtseize into Demon-Kitty is a nice way to start the game.

Courser of Kruphix helps us filter lands off the top and provides recovery from Thoughtseize life loss. We also have a pair of Sidisi, Undead Vizier, who has a tutor and a kill/6 body for five. Not too shabby!

Ruthless Ripper is our utility one-drop. She unmorphs for free, trades up, or stays a 2/2.

Lastly, a pair of Hooded Hydras make great exploit targets and scale well into the late game.

We finish up the numbers with a dash of the premium removal black has access to, and a miser's Life's Legacy for testing purposes.

The sideboard probably will change as I find more efficient answers to the problems the deck will face.

Please comment with any suggestions you deem appropriate; I'd like to keep the deck straight G/B if possible so I'm not forced to run 4x Siege Rhino.

I'd first like to say a big thank you to Dymion and Beliar0182 for their comments, which vastly improved the quality of the deck.

I've done away with the discard suite in the mainboard and relegated it to the side. I feel we need a strong creature base before anything game one. This actually improved our aggro and midrange matchups, but we still have difficulty with black control variants.

-3 Thoughtseize (to SB) -1 Life's Legacy (from an earlier version of the deck using Phytotitan.)

Whisperwood Elemental is the bomb.com here. We can throw manifests willy-nilly or keep them on defense. Grabbing a morph dude off the top is just fantastic, especially if you've a few raptors in the grave.

I also removed Erebos and Daddy Garruk from the sideboard for our hand disruption.

Thanks for all the help! I'll continue to playtest and discuss suggestions. Keep 'em comin!
