Back in Black! —Oct. 27, 2016

Having again stopped seriously playing for awhile & returned, I have come back into mono black.

So I'm having a bit of trouble putting all the points I was going to try and make into coherent sentences, so I'll just do it in jot notes, and hope you understand what I mean. Feel free to ask me to clarify anything here.

-Stuff like Narset Transcendent,Jace, Unraveler of Secrets, and Gideon, Ally of Zendikar are begging to be run with Oath of Jace/Oath of Gideon in tow.

-Dispel, Great against Bant Company.

-Drowner of Hope/Archangel Avacyn  Flip/Archangel of Tithes, for sweet, control-like cards.

-Always Watching seems pretty decent in a control deck with Dragonlord Ojutai (and Archangel of Tithes.

-Port Town, because Port Town.

-Warping Wail if you can get the Landbase for it.

And that's all folks. I'm sure I'll be back with some brilliantly garbage card for this deck, like Myth Realized or something. Otherwise, I think the deck looks splendid, and I wish you the best of luck in Standard.

Oh thank you Errast, somehow I had not until now seen your comment.

Narset seems lackluster in here, I had her in originally since she is blue & white and a planeswalker, didn't even think about it until I realized that this really isn't like my normal control decks, in fact I'd call this midrange, and I do not have nearly as many noncreature nonland cards as I usually do. I in fact have 0 instants and only 3 sorceries, which is really unusual for me haha. As far as Jace & Gideon go, Jace is a maybe but Gideon is too expensive, but given the chance I would absolutely trade for him, which, as it happens, is the same reason I don't have Avacyns in here; I would love to, but I prefer not to spend that much on cards I could trade for.

And as for Archangel of Tithes, she is really good but there's only what... 3 or 4 more FNMs of her being standard? Plus I'm going to be spending the bottom end of this week with my girlfriend in another city, so I probably would, but at this point this deck is getting into rotation mode.

Yes. Port Town. I had had Evolving wilds because land in graveyard for Delirium...... but then I realized I didn't have any Delirium.... and felt kind of silly and replaced those.

Sorry it took me three days to even see your comment; I chanced to see it by scrolling down to look at the new background I put on the deck. And I'll put those other cards in the maybeboard & consider them.
