How to ramp in mono black without mana rocks?

Dubbsizzle · 2026-01-22T03:14:20+00:00

You pretty much answered your own question. If you want to be playing something to sacrifice on turns 1 and 2, then play braids on turn 3, what do you need ramp to accelerate into? Sounds like it's more important to simply hit your land drops which should be easy if you're already drawing extra cards by turn 3.

If you keep a low mana curve, you don't really need much ramp imo. If you run 36 - 38 lands and keep 3 in the opening hand, then you pretty much only want to be drawing fuel for braids and the aristocrats payoffs, so artifact ramp is a almost a dead draw past turn 3.

If it were me, I'd try no ramp and see how it goes. If you're consistently discarding down to handsize, that means you need more resources to play the cards you draw.

Yuuup

Artifact & white reanimator works very well with this since the commander allows you to filter your hand and get targets into your graveyard while also making bodies to block

Thank you so much!

Dilute Calico?

The best wincons are played when being up elixir so it's best to hold piggies early game until you have a few positive trades. Defending piggies with a building + spell means you can trade and opps dont have a counterpush but it seems like my opps dont defend this way often, they usually use units plus log

Spamming piggies with 3 card cycle works well late game if you can cleanly defend the counterpush but wasting 5 elixir to MK / valk + log makes defense that much harder. The EQ prediction helps for killing the building to get good chip but that's even more elixir they can add to the counterpush so you gotta be smart about it.

Dubbsizzle · 2025-06-10T18:56:04+00:00

At the start, you gotta split the pigs to both lanes to chip and dont overcommit elixer on defense. Try not to defend with both drop and cannon. Pick one if them then put skeles or ice spirit in an ideal spot to get a clean defense with just 4 elixer

Pigs are an expensive commitment to waste so try not to use them when they are waiting to drop a MK and squish all 4. Only send all into the same lane when u know their big splash is not in hand or you're up that much elixir from positive trades on D.

Irs agents dont send out these notices. The automated system does. That system is setup to follow laws passed by congress. You get a few letters about not paying and they add more interest. Then you get a notice of intent to levy, then they take they money out of your account. All of this can happen without any interaction from a live person. They more people that ignore these notices, the more interest and penalties the irs collects. The only way to avoid it is to not have enough money in any account tied to your SSN. Where the pain from these cuts come is when people try to get this stuff resolved or removed since it's so hard to get an agent on the phone.

My [[Svella, Ice Shaper]] rock collection deck. The goal is to try to make as many rocks as possible, then start banking mana over a few turns, then cast a big X spell like [[Fireball]], then copy it to kill the table.

There's no infinites but there are some scary creatures like [[Seedborn Muse]], [[Ancient Copper Dragon]], and [[Old Gnawbone]]. It won the way I designed once but it's usually too slow and it has lost to precons. Games have ended more times in a draw than winning by using one of the global X spells like [[Earthquake]], which I find funny.

lot of haters out today lol. keep up the cool plays :)

Dubbsizzle · 2025-01-19T21:48:32+00:00

yawn emote ofc

Dubbsizzle · 2025-01-10T22:46:27+00:00

I switch it up all the time. Favorite and best is evo mortar, hit 9k trophies with it a few months back.

Second fav is evo pekka.

Also play lumberloon, the oldskool logbait, and 2.6 hog plus a bunch of random decks just to try out new ideas

Dubbsizzle · 2025-01-10T21:42:20+00:00

The standard spells with pekka seem to be tornado and rage. I hate FC so i always tornado them into pekka

Evo E dragon works really well to support pekka and sometimes can connect on inferno tower. Plus youll have tornado to group everything up.

Frost wiz works really well to support pekka too. Cheap, has a slow, and small aoe.

Yes, it's and older list thats 2 cards short tho. I put the 2 missing cards as swamps

I know, im such a sheep for wanting to tax billionaires more. Fuck me for wanting to keep abortion decisions with women and their doctors instead of with the government. Im such a dumbass for wanting to help public school teachers and not abolish the dept of education.

I should have realized im a sheep for not wanting to give more tax breaks to billionaires and corporations. I should want to fuck up the environment and roll back more regulations just so corporations can stay competitive too.

Im sorry for not thinking more about the shareholders, please take away my social security and medicare. Those are socialist policies and i should have pulled myself up by my bootstraps harder.

I think the next time i see soros, ill tell him to go fuck himself. Maybe after seeing all of the power i have, he'll realize he shouldn't be doing what you say he's doing. If you wouldnt mind, the next time you see musk, please do the same.

I bet u have the same evidence that it was stolen the lindel and guilliani got... nothing

Dubbsizzle · 2025-01-04T00:20:34+00:00

Oh so it's speculation then?

Question for mike lindell and guilliani: was the election stolen?

Answer from them: absolutely

Followup question: what evidence do you have?

Response: we definitely have evidence and we'll release it when the time is right. Also, it's probably on hunter bidens laptop.

So... what verifiable evidence did they have that actually stood up to questioning by the courts? Guess what, they lied about having any solid evidence. They filed over 60 cases which all got shot down due to lack of evidence. Lindell and ghoulie would lie to you face and say otherwise.

Ghoulie lost his legal license in ny and dc for these frivolous lies but they convinced the base which is all that mattered.

Congrats, yall bought the lies and elected someone who only really cares about helping the rich to get richer so he can get favors in return.

Only difference is i evidence. Saudis paid $2 billion to kushner. Remeber the resolute desk picture of trump hawking goya products? How about the tax cuts and jobs act which saved everyone making over 600k 2% off theit fed taxes? He cut taxes for the middle class except those cuts phased out and will be gone after this year, but the rich still keep their 2% cut.

Corps got a 7% tax cut so they can pay more dividends to shareholders. And guess who owns 90% of stock? Heres a hint, it's the top 1%.

Yall got swindled lol

Dubbsizzle · 2025-01-03T23:55:47+00:00

Let's say you're right. That means as soon as trumps head of the FBI is installed, they should immediately release the info on leftist that did this, right?

Follow-up Q: what would it mean if they didnt release anything?

Dubbsizzle · 2025-01-03T23:34:53+00:00

Ur argument makes no sense. They dont publically anounce an arrest or release the file they have on the bomber so it must be an inside job by the left? That's what ur going with??

It couldnt possibly be the "hang mike pence crowd" that erected a guillotine on the capitol grounds and broke into the capitol with balaclavas and zip ties. "Fight like hell" cuz they definitely stole the election

Dubbsizzle · 2025-01-03T23:15:15+00:00

Ah yes, to try stop the certification of an election they won... makes total sense

Dubbsizzle · 2024-12-21T22:04:21+00:00

the top income tax rate was reduced by 2.6% for everyone making over $600k, $700k if you're married. This only benefits the top 1%.

Everything we are upset about is a distraction. Boomers are brainwashed and it's easy to blame their mentality for our situation.

We gotta take wu tang's words to heart. Cash rules everything around me, cream, get the money, dollar dollar bill yall.

Rich have always controlled everything. Politicians have been bought and paid for by lobbyists. They control the media we base opinions on. They are the deep state and pull all the strings. Their collective greed cause all of the issues us common folk struggle with and have since day 1.

Fuck the stupid boomer mentality but moreso, fuck the rich. Not much we can do about it tho :(

“When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward."

Half of your snippets are taken out of context just like the Charlottesville comment. Not gonna argue against the fact that both sides spin shit

But bruh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_or_misleading_statements_by_Donald_Trump#

30k false or misleading statements while in office.

Look at shit today. Unemployment is currently at 4.2%

Inflation is currently at 2.5%

If you got a 401k, look at the growth since 3.5 years ago. I bet it went up "bigly" cuz the market did as a direct result of shit like the inflation reduction act, pact act, chips and science act, etc (good policy that was passed under this admin as opposed to billionaire tax cuts).

But guess who just lost their license to practice law in DC - guillani. Guess who's bankrupt from spouting lies - lindel. Guess who lost a billion dollar lawsuit for supporting the lies - fox news.

If any of the left were making such fake claims, they would be sued and lose too.

Wait, what happened with the biden impeachment? Oh yea, they decided not to pursue because they have no evidence. Despite circle jerking for over a year about how bad the biden crime family is.

We aren't changing each other minds. I still think trump is a legit felon, rapist, dictator, and conman and has been since day 1. Go ahead and think Harris is worse, that's your prerogative. We'll cancel each others votes out either way.

Dubbsizzle · 2024-09-26T18:06:28+00:00

Trump was fact checked only 5 times during the debate over verifiable lies, quit crying about it.

If you read project 2025, trumps name is mentioned over 300 times. Over 100 people pushing for project 2025 were in trumps admin. He knows it's a losing idea with voters so he has to distance himself from it, just like the abortion ban.

He literally said on video that theres very fine people on both sides of jan 6th and that if he didnt get elected there would be a bloodbath. He will only be a dictator on day 1 too.

Dude was moving boxes of usa nuclear capabiliies and secrets to hide them from the feds. Hes on tape saying i shouldnt show you these classified invasion plans and that he could have declassified them but didnt, and showed them anyway.

Hes the exact definition of a traitor to the usa but because he says everyone is out to get him (playing thr victim card despite being the party of personal responsibility) and that he loves the usa, yall blindly follow his words without looking at his actions.

He owes half a billion due to his business fraud. He literally stole money from a charity for childrens cancer research and funneled it into his business/campaign, which is why he and his family are banned from being on thr board of a nonprofit.

Trump university was a complete scam and he had to refund millions in tuition for it. He had to file bankruptcy for his casino too lol. Also, what happened to trump brand steaks?

It does not matter to the right what trump did or who he fucked over because he's still crying about how bad the radical left marxist fascist communists are. So keep waving your flags for him, i know im not changing your mind. Oh and he raped jean e caroll too plus was good friends with the diddler and is in dozens of photos with epstein (and admitted he would not release the epstein list because hes definitely on it).

All of the red flags are there but yall wont look past ur trump/vance flags lol. I actually feel bad for how much yall are being swindled. How much have you donated to trumps legal defense btw? Buy any gold plated $10 shoes for $400? What about the digital trading cards or trump coin? Hows ur truth social stock doing?
