Mono Black Bishhhh

This deck likes to hold out while using kill spells to control the board. This is a quasi-budget version of the deck as I don't have the money for lili.

Control:

Inquisition of Kozilek & Thoughtseize - efficient discard spells

Victim of Night - Efficient kill spell

Geth's Verdict - Hexproof killer

Tragic Slip - Good because I am hoping to be killing creatures most of the game

Gatekeeper of Malakir - 2/2 with a sac. Do I need to say anything?

Dismember - Last resort kill spell

Ghost Quarter - To take out important colors and/or Inkmoth or other vital nonbasic lands.

Damage/Support:

Geralf's Messenger - Great damage boost and works amazingly with Whip of Erebos

Dark Confidant - Great card draw, a body, and not to many high CMC cards and enough kill spells exist to get rid of him if need be.

Finishers include:

Phyrexian Obliterator & Gray Merchant of Asphodel (very good due to the high number of black only mana cost creatures)

[Still being tested]

All hail!
