I will be making youtube videos over my current and future projects in the Manyblack Project coming soon. updates will be posted here when that happens.

so this is based on a project ive been undergoing the last 3 years...

being able to play many different monoblack decks every week or even every game without a major hassle of trying to remember what cards go where... so. I made a monoblack core of 75 cards. its got some staple ramp, removal etc... that can mesh with just any black commander.

Then... I began the endeavor. 25 card shells for every commander i wanted to play or test out with their own thematic or key cards that took advantage of my core and made the "shell" viable. this... is me trying to now figure out how to properly show the core and those shells on Tapped out to give others a look into the mind of a monoblack player with 9 different monoblack decks in under 300 unique cards. im going for 12 so i can roll out the dirty dozen.

how this works at the tables i play at... so im using dragon shield slate on all my decks. with inner fit side loaders... so everything is in the same container essentially... except. i have a 15 color art marker set... that i assigned color and corner combinations of squiggles on the inner sleeves. so i can quickly and rapidly pull the 24 cards of a shell and the commander out and swap in the other in about 2 minutes flat in between games with plenty of time left to shuffle up and cut.

The real perk though? I know that every single card i buy or trade for to upgrade my core... is going to get used in all my decks. not just one i may forget about and collect dust. well lets see how well my HTML shows what I am doing to inspire and enjoy the diversity and versatility of Monoblack in comparison to every other color in concept, strategy, capability and adaptability. p.s. i hate blue.

The Commander Shells I currently have built and use weekly, in no particular order.

1. Haunt of Hightower "Kills on Mills"
2. Falthis, Shadowcat Familiar + Sengir, the Dark Baron "Voltron"
3. Toshiro Umezawa "Duelist"
4. Tergrid, God of Fright   "Sacrifice Friendships"
5. Gonti, Lord of Luxury "Lord of Land Destruction"
6. Ayara, First of Locthwain "The Guest Have Arrived"
7. Syr Konrad, the Grim "The Guests Have Died"
8. Yawgmoth, Thran Physician "The Phyrexian Poison Physician"
9. Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools + Tormod, the Desecrator "Zombies? Zombies!"
10. Fain, the Broker "Chew your food" Design In Progress

not each section may be a little off in numbers... thats fine because some of the decks i actually remove particular cards from the core that dont have synergy... like crypt of agadeem doesnt help a deck with few creatures... and things of that nature.
