Deck Help forum

i been working on this deck, Demonology, mono black with demons, and i just play casually with friends of mine. im pretty happy with the deck, but i was wondering what some all-around good black cards are. maybe like a 10 best overall black cards or something. im thinking about maybe replacing the with something else, its the only card that doesnt fit directly into the deck. any comments are appreciated. thanks!

meant to say thinking of replacing Dash Hopes with something else.

What Black lacks in counters, it makes up for in destruction. Doom Blade , Go for the Throat , card:Black Sun's Zenith, Massacre Wurm , Damnation ... You get the picture. Some really solid black creatures are (IMO) Phyrexian Obliterator , Sheoldred, Whispering One , Grave Titan , Geth, Lord of the Vault and if you feature infect: Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon . Lashwrithe is also the best equipment card out there for mono-black. If you are set on demons only your options are limited, but Skirsdag High Priest can help you there. I hope this was helpful.

demons are known for two things one of them is making you sac your own creatures I was looking at your deck and saw you are running 4x of Xathrid Demon , a great card to use to combo with him is Reassembling Skeleton he also works with your card:Demon of Death's Gate as a creature you can sac and then bring back to do it again also Abyssal Persecutor is very tricky if you can't get the cards you need to sac him my favorite sac engine is Viscera Seer he will get rid of anything that would die/hurt you, help with reasembling skeleton to make sure you don't have bad top decks, and can easily get rid of persecutor any time you feel like getting rid of him.

hey guys, thank you very much. now i just have to decide which cards to use!. im thinking of going with destruction, like SwiftDeath said, destruction is a strong point for black. so i may go with that.
