Mono Black Artifact

Deck Help forum

Posted on April 22, 2017, 12:18 a.m. by NewAgeDoom

Hello everyone, as the title suggests, I'm playing around with Mono Black Artifact (The Black Metal battle deck from Card Kingdom to be exact), and I'm looking for some second opinions on what to actually take out/remove, as I'm not entirely familiar with the decktype. Advice is appreciated. A bit of a pre-note, I am rather enjoying the interplay between the Defiant Salvager and Marionette Master, so any ideas for promoting that would be appreciated. Anywho, on to the decklist:

Creatures

4 Defiant Salvager

3 Marionette Master

4 Dhund Operative

4 Hedron Crawler

4 Galvanic Juggernaut

4 Juggernaut

2 Ramroller

Artifacts

2 Mortarpod

1 Executioner's Capsule

2 Sphere of the Suns

Instants

4 Tragic Slip

Lands

2 Quicksand

2 Blighted Fen

2 Mortuary Mire

1 Phyrexia's Core

17 Swamp

Buried Ruin in place of quicksand. I don't know what you're going for, but I personally don't like any juggernauts. Lodestone Golem might be fun. You might want more Removal, Dismember is fun. You could make an Affinity deck, mono black would be weird. Check it out. I have a lot more suggestions but you probably don't want too many ideas from one guy.

It doesn't necessarily have to be about Juggernauts. This is just how the deck came from Card Kingdom, but as I mentioned in the OP, I really like the synergy between Defiant Salvager and Marionette Master, so anything that can either facilitate, or support that I'd be welcome to suggestions. Would something like the Animation Module Metallic Mimic Combo work for the deck?

Or would it maybe be better to go a bit more Aetherborn Tribal?

Never thought of that tribal. If you want sacs I would suggest Memnites and Ornithopters

So I'm thinking maybe 2/3 copies of Yahenni, Undying Partisan, Syndicate Trafficker, and like you suggested, get the two Buried Ruin to replace Quicksand. Is there more I can do to recycle the Memnite or Ornithopter to keep the sack train running?
