I love coming up with my own builds and discussing Deck Strategy with others. I don't do Netdeck builds of anything "Top Ranked" -- not on Paper, and not on Arena (at least never in Ranked matches). I don't have any problem with Netdecking as a concept, I just prefer the challenge of seeing how far I can get ignoring all the most popular combos in any given format.

Feel free to copy any of my decks though, I've got no problem with the concept & consider it a compliment!

Also, if you're on Arena, go ahead and add me if you want to play, test decks, or even just discuss deck strategy & different builds.

Said on Mono Black Control …...

#1

The new mode-based black sorcery from Thunder Juction, Rush of Dread is an instant kill using its 3rd mode if you have Bloodletter of Aclazotz in play regardless of opponent's life total, so it's pretty much a shoe-in for any deck already running the Bloodletter.

That said, the deck looks a lot more viable in this new incarnation - nice work and maybe give Rush of Dread a try if you want to keep it in top rankings
