Mono Black Control | Ranked Standard MTG Arena

I’m a new magic player and this deck is so nice to follow along with and understand the reasons your doing things. Simple control deck, love the vid! pretty educational too

Had a problem drawing nothing but lands. Dropped to 24 lands and added 2 archfiends of the dross.

100th Comment! CGB Venn Diagram! You’re Cool!

i played against a deck like this yesterday, but it has just one real menace.. the demon that comes back... and it have to be pretty curved to do not die before that thing comes into play to make a difference.... I played with rakdos anvil vrann with the new artfact called Journal... it is insane.. journal with the greedy and the rakdos vampires it is too insane.. i loose only and really ONLY if the arena flood me... 23 lands.. and flood still is a problem.. i dont trust arena.. the deck already made 10 wins in a roll.. but when arena dont want you to win it makes you mulligan to 5... it is a fact... an those who tell it isnt... well... i just say... YOU DIDNT PLAY ENOUGH.. Arena sended me an e-mail saying that i play more than 93% of players... so... if you dont play like that dont tell me what arena makes or dont... cause you dont know... it reallys fix games to test the cards and players... thats why I dont put any money ont it.. magic is Great.. but Arena just sucks on the shuffler and match makers... fixed games.. rigged deck.. it is beautifull.. but do not work well... i love magic... hate Arena... Wizards should remake the shuffler codes.. and the match maker is better.... CGB know that it have been pretty worst in the past.. one year ago it would fix only matches with mirrors... they changed it.. i can see.. but the rigged shuffler is disgusting... when you dont start and have to mulligan you already know that the OP would play with Monored, monowhite, toxic or new mechannics with new collection cards.... see by yourself and try it if you dont believe it... sorry by my english... it is not my language

people still use blue peter lol;

I feel like a corrupt or two would go hard in this deck list!

I ran this deck today and won 15 out of 17 games

Thanks

Did something similar in orzov adding the craft cards. Perfect to sack for value and actually has legs against ramp to out grind

I'm not gonna lie I was cheering for the 5 color deck (that I currently run)

Tried this list after replacing Serpent with Ashiok, worked smooth as silk. Plus, Ashiok means synergy with Bitter Triumph. Also put in white sources and a couple of Path of Perils for those pesky midrange and soldier decks.

The deathtouch attack against 3 creatures confused me. Has something changed in the rules?
The 4 dmg of the deathtouch creature was split evenly between the 3 creatures blocking it. That seemed new to me.

Do people forget how good Toxrill is? I wiped an entire Herd Migration’s herd in a turn and a half with Toxrill. It’s a great card and should be a 1-of at least in ANY black deck.

Mono black!

Bring back Loth!!!

These games looked perfect to me. Exactly my type of deck. Maybe I'll come back to Standard for this

Really appreciate the deck records at the end of your videos. I'm a newer viewer and your videos are both very entertaining and informative. Thanks for the work you put into them.

I loved the blood money deck to death, played it a long time and didn't get tired of it. This one only does a so-so impression of it. I still miss my Learn board, Lolth was just a babe, and Blood on the Snow felt so incredibly satisfying every time it went off...

But what if the word "opponent" comes before "on the draw?"

Just telling us the intros will come back is enough for me. Thanks for addressing it.

Day 1 of asking for a cgb/Arjuna reunion. Booo standard!

CGB: "Why do I have to have a six drop in my opening hand?"

Me, having flashbacks of Blood in the Snow in EVERY opening hand: Yep, that's truly a Blood Money deck...

Yes, love short intros!

I miss blood money

No questions! 😂

Good memories of seeing black players hitting t1 shambling ghast t2 dispute t3 lolth literally every game

Blood Money... What a grind

Thank you!

I've been playing this deck for last two weeks, but with 3 DROSS added. That usually is too much for opponents to deal with, and I've never had it lose all its counters yet.

CGB give us more Timeless

Blood money is the deck that got me into magic. I was playing HS at the time. After seeing it, I downloaded Arena and never turned back. Can't believe I didn't see this coming. I love it!

Day 11 of asking for Zurgo Helmsmasher brawl

This is missing the ramp into Blood on the Snow bringing back Lolth or Xanathar for a more spicy build. Ashiok and Gix’s Command is a board wipe sort of…

Is anyone else interested in meta related videos about what individual cards are good in standard? Like best spot removal or best draw spells or best board wipes. Maybe even discussing best synergies to experiment with. Something that could help a new brewer understand the theory behind deck building so that more ppl are willing to experiment.

Hrm, that Black Lotus coin... quite the risk I'd say, 300 bucks for 50 dollars of silver... well, good luck to you would be investors I suppose.

Really would like intros to come back

OG Blood Money was my absolute favorite deck to play, I was so sad when the cards rotated. Been waiting literally years for the sequel!

How will I live without No Questions?

Would love to see you cover what's going on with the alchemy format. If only for one video a month or so.

Giving up extra utility lands like foundry and field of ruin doesn't seem to be a worthwhile tradeoff to run bladcoil when you are only getting 1/3 the benefit in a mono colored deck. This deck really seemed to want to have extra things to do with its mana. 2 Mirex ain't getting it done. Deck needed much more value

Mono black from Sonio and CGB in one day noice

Who said Mono Black was dead?!

I remember Blood Money. One of my favorite decks!

Where do you get your hoodies and jackets? Does Wizards send them to you?

The scrybug was in full force in this video.

this is what I've been waiting for heck yes
