Deck Help forum
Posted on Dec. 30, 2025, 6:08 p.m. by theNeroTurtle
I am working on a competitive mono black deck with 4 removal spells.
I am seeking suggestions for better card choices. I do have a creature type when it comes to Kindred Dominance. I am playing Rat Colony.
Here his the deck if you want to possibly make other suggestions as well.

Extinction might be good, though you run the chance of it only killing one specific creature (or being -extremely- unfortunate if you need to get rid of a rat). I’m always tempted to get into -1/-1 counters with Blowfly Infestation but that is probably a bad idea for the competitive meter //grin//

Extinction is interesting, FormOverFunction! My pod is big in tribal.

Honestly? Your choices are good; your big problem is quantity, not quality. I'd say 9~12 removals are what you need. Four removals isn't even enough to guarantee you draw one per game. If we assume you draw 15 cards in a given game, your odds of drawing a removal spell are just under 50%. (48.7% to be exact.) Getting two removal spells is 10.8%.
