Maybeboard


I wanted to play a mono-black, heavy metal deck with all the best demons in it. Is it good? Maybe. Is it fun? Yep.

You want to ramp into high cost, high value cards. Mulligan for ramp or card draw. Use your board wipes and targeted removal to stay alive until you get established.

Ramp using Crypt Ghast, Liliana of the Dark Realms, Myriad Landscape, Bubbling Muck, Dark Ritual, Culling the Weak, Sacrifice, Ashnod's Altar, Caged Sun, and mana rocks.

You'll want to tutor for card draw, ramp, or one of the finishers depending on game state. Typically it is safe to tutor for The One Ring for card draw, Liliana of the Dark Realms, Crypt Ghast, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, or Cabal Coffers for ramp, or Dread Return to get a creature back from the yard. If you have 4 demons on the field already, you can tutor for Liliana's Contract to set up a win. If you need to stabilize, tutor for a board wipe like Toxic Deluge, Damnation, Final Act. If you have either Maralen of the Mornsong or Opposition Agent, tutor for the other to lock them out of drawing new cards.

You can force your opponents to search their library after Ob Nixilis, Unshackled is on the field using cards like Scheming Symmetry, Maralen of the Mornsong, and Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire. There are several lands that let your opponent search their library as well Demolition Field, Field of Ruin, Ghost Quarter, and Volatile Fault. Only Field of Ruin is not a 'may', but in the worst case, they turn into strip mines anyway. Since we are forcing our opponents to search their libraries, Opposition Agent is an obvious choice.

Liliana's Contract allows for an alternate wincon, and can be tutored up if you have the precondition already.

For protection, just let your creatures go into the yard and return them later using Dread Return, Reanimate, Coiling Rebirth, Agadeem's Awakening  , or in a pinch Witch's Cottage, and Mortuary Mire. Late game, Rise of the Dark Realms can be used as a finisher.

Generate tokens to feed your sacrifice effects using Abhorrent Overlord, Great Unclean One, Overseer of the Damned, Carrion, and Bitterblossom.
