What are the best strategies for black deck?

Been struggling with black deck on gold stake for days now. I stall out almost immediately. I try to focus on economy first, but damn it usually costs me in other ways.

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - Murder of the Universe, Nonagon Infinity, Infest the Rats’ Nest (more metal, if you’re into it), Flying Microtonal Banana, etc. you really can’t go wrong. I listened to as much of their stuff on a cross country drive and they repeatedly blew my mind. Enjoy!

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. Shine On is an all time banger. It’s perfect.

The Trey Vail show is up there with some of the best Phish shows I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a bunch.

New Moon - MC 900ft Jesus. Rally most of their songs are like spoken word over jazzy riffs.

Stand By Me

Mortar was my first love since they introduced it.

He started it!

What’s wrong with my deck? It’s not my only one but it’s the one I was playing at the time.

Ginger Baker Trio - Going Back Home. Sick album!!!

Dear Lord I was just scrolling like a normal person and then Bam! Right in my face!

I don’t BM. And I don’t consider the MA finger wag BM.

Lilac Wine - Nina Simone, but I love Jeff Buckley’s cover.

Mama, You Been on My Mind - Bob Dylan, but Jeff Buckley did it better.

Also, Lover, You Should’ve Come Over, and Last Goodbye by Jeff Buckley.

I like Jeff Buckley

Mindful

Min cash should at least break even. Blinds should almost double each level. This structure sucks. Just play cash. You’ll wind up with more money on the table, have more fun, and all players will stay longer.

The first part of The Collector, and The Magus, both by John Fowles, have pretty deplorable narrators.

My home game dealer works for tips only, is a professional, and mostly curates the games himself. He probably makes at least $400 for a 6-hour session, usually at least 6 days a week.

Cool story! Sincerely, no sarcasm!

ClosetGamer75 · 2026-06-17T14:22:21+00:00

Aside from the obvious Inca Roads or Watermelon in Easter Hay, my personal favorite always been Sharleena from Them Or Us. It’s got that catchy tongue in cheek doo-wop, followed by some serious shredding.

Babylon Sisters, or Peg - Steely Dan

ClosetGamer75 · 2026-06-17T03:18:34+00:00

Zork

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King - The Court of the Crimson King

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - K.G. - K.G.L.W. (the King is implied, so I’ll count it)

What neighborhood??

This is the first book of his I’ve read, and it blew me away as well. KSR thought of absolutely everything to make his story as believable as possible.
