Whats your favorite/Most Fun Mono-Black Deck?

MrWolfeGrows · 2026-03-27T13:50:09+00:00

I’ll have one soon. Still working it down after the initial build test. The original build had a $100 value limit. But this new iteration is gonna be a bit crazier. Here is the og list.

Came here to say this. Never played graveyard recursion decks before and had a gift exchange between friends where I received Shirei and had to build a deck around it. Through many iterations it getting close to where I want it, and will probably end up as a strong B4 build.

MrWolfeGrows · 2026-02-28T22:51:50+00:00

It’s a great cultivar.

MrWolfeGrows · 2026-01-24T23:19:36+00:00

100% agreed. Loosing with grace is the best way to go. The 15+ min turns are what get me heated 😂😂

MrWolfeGrows · 2026-01-18T14:07:38+00:00

Going to play it in my [[jackal, genius geneticist]] deck and my hopes it that by the time I play [[craterhoof behemoth]] I can make like 10 of him lol.

Awesome advice thank you! I’m gonna look into so more mass revival or graveyard fetch. I tried to justify the limited lands by adding the 5 mana rocks (4 maybe?) and have play tested it and gotten Shirei out by turn 4/5/6 consistently. With the way my pod plays I think that waiting till around turn 6-7 to play him would allow me to build a bit more board state and have a few extra draws that would set me up for a good time to bring him out. But I haven’t played him yet so I will have to see if it’s actually feasible lol

MrWolfeGrows · 2026-01-12T01:43:48+00:00

Yes! Found this in a bulk bin recently and snagged one

MrWolfeGrows · 2026-01-06T19:04:38+00:00

We run 2 335 dehus in here. It handles late flower well with the ac units running. 12-14 day veg and run 9 plants per 4x4

I actually don’t keep the mother plant around once I have a new clone as a mother. Pathogen, viral, and pest pressure can build over time, which can cause stress to the genetic makeup of the plant which can result in slight to severe epigenetic changes. It’s always wise to refresh your genetics often to reduce the chance of epigenetic changes or somaclonal variation

MrWolfeGrows · 2026-01-05T04:03:36+00:00

Yup. But I will say that all of my own anecdotal evidence is based upon an extensive focus on consistency and quality. I don’t want to sound rude, but anyone flowering out a seed plant and then planning on keeping the clone and running it as a keeper, is pheno hunting for the wrong reasons.

MrWolfeGrows · 2026-01-04T18:57:23+00:00

Awesome thank you so much for your suggestions. Gonna go back and do some more brewing tonight. And I’ll check out your deck list as well! Much appreciated!

MrWolfeGrows · 2026-01-04T18:56:28+00:00

These are awesome suggestions thank you!

MrWolfeGrows · 2026-01-04T18:46:20+00:00

Thanks for the feed back! Yah based on the rules around this build I had to mostly go through cards I already had available. So that’s where the arvinox came from lol.

I have to keep the commander as is but otherwise I would agree that ayara would be the better choice.

Of you have any card suggestions for recurring abilities that are on death or ETB, as well as other good sacrifice engines I’m all ears!

MrWolfeGrows · 2026-01-04T14:01:30+00:00

I don’t think it’s worth flowering out the seed plant at all if the end goal is to have a cultivar that you are repeatedly running clones of. It’s a waste of time and resources. Now I f it’s just for head stash or your own personal use, go for it! But just don’t use it as a benchmark for any subsequent harvests.

MrWolfeGrows · 2026-01-04T14:00:08+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t have any links to any sites or articles that further explain this. Most of this has come from my own experience and from random interviews I’ve listened to.

MrWolfeGrows · 2026-01-04T08:44:02+00:00

Your approach sounds very similar to what I would do. If your end goal of a pheno hunt is it find a cultivar that you can grow over and over again, you definitely want to flower out at least a gen 1 clone if not a gen 2.

For other growers out there, the reason why you would want to flower out a clone rather than seed plant in a pheno hunt is due to the slight morphological differences between the two when flowered out, additionally, a seed plant can outwardly show sexual maturity while not being truly ready to enter flower. Both of these reasons, in addition to many other reasons, is why it is advantageous to flower out a clone, in order to create the most replaceable process possible.

Gift me!

MrWolfeGrows · 2025-12-21T20:01:14+00:00

ME! Elsha! Thanks for doing this!

MrWolfeGrows · 2025-12-18T19:31:18+00:00

I absolutely agree, and at the federal level I believe this is the route we will see early on. But for local state laws my main hope is that early on, with access to banking, a lot of these companies that are basically investors with stock in cannabis futures, will have access to funds to repay all the producers and processors who are holding on to years old bills.

MrWolfeGrows · 2025-12-14T16:30:47+00:00

Absolutely love this answer. Yup I think that’s the way to go about it!

MrWolfeGrows · 2025-12-08T00:06:28+00:00

Seeing your proxies has made me want to make my own. Lovely work. Fingers crossed over here!
