(I have resurrected this deck in my roster. The meta has evolved, and I think they won't object now that I have removed Plague of Vermin.)

When I saw Ayara, even though I had a mono-black deck already built, I knew I had to woo and win her for myself. She has been such a kind mistress that I have dissociated myself from any other mono-black deck...

This deck aims to keep suitors filing through the Court of the Black Queen, incidentally killing everyone else with value and our devotion (to black).

Ayara's entire realm was transported ... somewhere, and now her court of suitors includes a C'tan or two, and the treasures and the realm itself are slightly different.
