Mono-Black permanent removal?

Asked by Dracog 13 years ago

Me and my friends play casual legacy ffa's, and I recently dropped my Green/Black deck to Mono Black. I was wondering of any black cards that have similar effects to Maelstrom Pulse . Any ideas?

Not really. All colors have their weaknesses, and Black's is that it doesn't really have a way to deal with noncreature things once they land. Black likes to disrupt the things before they enter the field (Duress , Despise , Thoughtseize , etc) and of course is excellent a killing creatures once they land.

Phyrexian Obliterator , I guess, semi-qualifies, since it can make your opponent sacrifice permanents. You can't control it, though. Curse of the Cabal can make people sac permanents each upkeep, though again you can't dictate which one.

You're probably going to have to dip into colorless stuff if you want straight permanent removal in a monoblack deck. Steel Hellkite , Argentum Armor , Ratchet Bomb , Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre , Oblivion Stone , All Is Dust , Spine of Ish Sah ...
