I run a mono black discard deck, is there anyway I can blow up or prevent leyline of sanctity from stopping me?

There may be others, but these are the ones I found.

It's helpful if you link the cards you mention in your questions/answers. Don't be shy to check the formatting tips down at the bottom of the page.

I did this from my phone so it was a bit... Dare I say... janky?! Haha but it is a modern 8rack deck... The Rack and Shrieking Affliction both hit for damage because you aren't "targeting" the player but Thoughtseize is rendered useless by Leyline of Sanctity

My comment was mostly for the other cat. I run a mono black discard, too, so I'm familiar w/ how the spells work. Unfortunate that black goes tits up against enchantments, for the most part.

All of that stuff will work but it kind of kick's discard in the teeth a bit, b/c the nature of those decks is to be aggressive. Kill the hand as quickly as possible and then throw down some bombs. Nightmare ... Nyxathid .

You could always splash white, and sideboard vs this kind of hate. :)

Outside of artifact assistance that doesn't come down until t3 you are screwed in mono black.

I have an 8rack too, That Lovin' Feeling. I personally like to run Abrupt Decay and Golgari Charm . splashing is pretty much your best alternative. Maelstrom Pulse is also awesome.
obviously you can run white too, which gives you Revoke Existence , Disenchant , and a few other cards.

basically the problem u r facing right now is what prevents mono-black from being competitive. U have to basically splash another color (preferably G or W) to get access to answers capable of dealing with Artifacts & Enchantments.
If u already have Liliana of the Veil s Thoughtseize s and Ensnaring Bridge s then u should know that fetches r the next step to making ur deck competitive.
Here's my build, I've chosen to splash Red and it seems to work real well. On The Rag -Rakdos's 8RΔCK-

The Q&A is for rules questions. A moderator will probably be here shortly to move this to the proper forum.
What format?
