I love the smell of black magic in the morning. ☠️
I noticed an unforgivable lack of mono-black Wizard tribal out there, so I built one: Wizards of the Dark Coast, a casual sacrifice/attrition deck where every creature is a Wizard, Warlock or Cleric.
The idea is simple: make creatures die on both sides, turn my deaths into Zombies (because black magic comes at a price), cards and drain, and watch the opponent's board erode one upkeep at a time. Flavourful and petty.
Some notable interactions are:
The Magus Duo: Magus of the Abyss + Magus of the Bridge, with Leyline of the Void to cover Bridge's downside.
Flesh Carver is hungry and grows scary fast.
Necromancer recursion: Doomed and Bloodline Necromancer bring back whatever Vile Entomber and Grim Servant set up.
Drain and burn with Consume Spirit, Underworld Dreams, Death Cultist and Postmortem Professor.
It might not be competitive but it's built for flavour, pettiness and juicy satisfaction (mostly Modern-legal, but not strictly).
Full list, card breakdown and sideboard are here https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/wizards-of-the-dark-coast-1/
Feel free to leave a feedback or suggest anything that would make the deck more fun without losing its flavour!
May your graveyard always be full.
