v. 1.8.2 —April 18, 2015
Got some good suggestions for putting in Murderous Cut and Raven's Crime. I don't have any raven's crime and there's not an LGS withing 50 miles that has it.
Bummer.
On a better note, I had a few friends over yesterday pre-FNM for some tweaking and 3 man chaos. I must say, in multiplayer games this deck still handles its business. Though, it was never meant to be a multiplayer deck, it was fairly efficient at its workings. Even against a particularly nasty sliver deck, and The elf belcher.
I let my friend borrow my decks for FNM, so I'll have to see how it fared for him.

Great suggestions! Alas, I don't own either one of these cards. I'll put them in my acquire board and if I ever get some they'll go in.

CricketYT,
1. I don't have any.
2.That requires counters, to do 2 damage a turn to place a counter on BA would require several more turns for the wincon. Great for casual, not for competitive.

To bad Lobotomy isn't modern legal. Looks fun. +1

I feel like it is, in a way, Reap Intellect I think functionally is the same, but casts for one more, but every turn after that works better.

Sweet cards! I've never seen them before. Definitely up my meta of play. A bit expensive for this deck, but would go GREAT in my other mill deck.

Play tested some last night. Also, I found an error in my charts. I was missing a game from my turn tracking chart. All is fixed.
Was thinking of starting a new deck that's a little... Non-meta. Going to sit down with my cards later and see if I can't find any obnoxious, deadly, but mostly fun combos.

OH! You know what would go REALLY well in this deck? A retrace card! Use Raven's Crime early on and let your opponent forget about it, then combo when they don't expect it!

Ooh, I like the way this card makes me feel. It has the same flavor as the rest of the deck and is exasperating as it is devious.
I may consider getting a couple of these. Not sure if they'll go into the main or side board rhoguh. Thanks for a great suggestion, SorcerersBone!

Would you bring Victim of Night in against affinity? If not, then I think Go for the Throat will better fit your sideboard, if you can find some.
Also, Murderous Cut usually does not cost 4B, it's closer to B, or 1B, which means it probably could slot out a couple of your removal spells.

I agree with Victim of Night switching out, perhaps Doom Blade over Go for the Throat, as I'm much more likely to play a general mono-black rather than a tribal zombie, vamp, or werewolf deck in modern tourney play.
As for Murderous Cut, it still would be too expensive to cast as I usually have 1-2 cards max in my graveyard by the end of the game whether I win or lose.

With 23 spells at 4 fetchlands? That sounds odd, but to each his own.

Every spell you cast,and every card you transmute will end up in the graveyard. Fetchlands also end up in the graveyard. Delve will eat up all the cards in the graveyard. I just imagine you having enough to fuel 1 or 2 cuts.

I see said the blind man.
Thanks, I guess I really hadn't thought it through like that. lol I may add to the longevity of the game should I draw badly. Thanks again!

Epic fail on Raven's Crime. No LGS within an hour away has any.
Curse this redneck town!

Personally I would take out the Dimir Aqueducts since they enter tapped, and even cost you a land. Maybe replace it with the pain land Underground River or filter land Sunken Ruins.
