The one thing missing from my initial version of a black aggro deck was a sideboard. Which I have to admit took a bit of a back seat while I have been working on other decks such as that Angel deck I did. Yeah I am aware these aren’t the best decks in the world. But these decks I’m sharing are only being played in casual games, not some hyper competitive FNM thing.
This version plays 12 1 drop creatures and 8 2 drop creatures. The addition of Night Market Lookout is great early on, damage and life gain. I dropped the Dinosaur Hunter, and replaced it with the Dire Fleet Poisoner. Which has Deathtouch, and Flash. So much more useful than Dino Hunter that only really kills things bigger than it if they are dinosaurs, and doesn’t have Flash.
The thing I noticed playing the earlier version and this one also to some extent is that this deck loves big creature decks. It has a lot of removal, either as spells or abilities of creatures I play in the form of etb effects or Deathtouch. Token spamming decks can be a problem. Hence the addition of cards that give opponents creatures -2/-2. That will get rid of a lot of tokens.
Ok here is the pretty graph bit from the Decked app.
I’m pretty happy with that AMC. It’s dropped from 2.28 to 2.16.
If you want to leave comments about the deck, if you haven’t commented before I need to approve the comment first but after that you are golden to post with out me needing to approve the comment. It’s just an anti-spam thing.
