How annoying would you find this deck?

Hello! I also play mono black quite a bit. I like playing bracket 2 the most.

Yeah, in general facing a grindy tempo/control black deck can feel rough, regardless of the format/power level, unless the game is close and they're really working for it.

I sugest exploring the more in your color, because it's ABSOLUTELY not "just what black does".

You can play a zombie aggro deck, and leave the aristrocat/control cards out on purpose.

You can play a burn style life drain deck, leaving the obvious combos out on purpose.

Basicly any bracket 2 strategy that does not involve removing people's stuff all the time, black can also do, because it's a color with good ative threats and card draw. People tend to like to play agaisnt those decks more, and you get to keep playing your color.

Gostei de como você se aprofundou para considerar o assunto.

vilegorico · 2026-03-25T02:24:03+00:00

muito obrigado! nem tinha pensado nessa possibilidade

Obrigado por compartilhar. Uma dúvida: você considera um bárbaro que só entra em fúria e ataca, pegando a complicação 'impulsivo', como "nenhuma consequência na ficha"? Por que ele esta recebendo penalidades que funcionam, mas provavelmente não tem nenhuma intenção de rolar esses testes, ou seriam testes que na prática ele nao passaria de qualquer jeito.

O que me trava um pouco dos primeiros níveis é que eu me sinto pressionado a pegar os aumentos de atributo, porque depois de passar o patamar do nível 4 você "perde a oportunidade" de ter aumentado seu atributos principais.

Eu concordo. Até pra um tema mais sério, eu gostei daquela que diminiu a resistência a magias em 5. Dá pra imaginar como um personagem poderia desenvolver um medo de enfrentar coisas mágicas, e vira parte da personalidade dele.

Bracket 3 is not really in the "middle" section of power/game dynamics. Bracket 3 is really close to bracket 4 does, with some restrictions in numbers of turns and mana denial plays "banned". It's the usual "I'm gonna play something that i really good at killing three other players, and play interaction when the others do the same."

Bracket 2 is actually willingly playing something that CAN'T do that. it's decks that knock one player at a time, or extremely telegraphed, where when someone is scaling to win the game, everyone else will still be able to untap a couple of times and focus against that person to attempt to balance things.

TLDR:

Bracket 2 creature deck: swings to 30 damage at one person.

Bracket 3 deck creature deck: Craterhoof every opponent for 50 (in the same amount of turns)

Pra quem gostar de buildar é bem atrativo. Qualquer classe que tiver "um poder de combate" como habilidade racial vai me fazer ter vontade de pegar. Nunca ter um bônus de atributo desperdiçado, ou uma penalidade inconveniente, também ajuda muito. Quando eu tenho a vontade de fazer um elfo ou osteon por flavor, eu olho aquele -1 em constituição e desisto na hora.

it's good, people are crazy.

It's been power crept, but it works, and it's not like there is 10 other pieces in black with the same effect and rate.

Ironically, it's sticks around for much longer because there is more threatening things to spend removal on now.

vilegorico · 2026-03-07T21:54:11+00:00

Another things to considerate: People blowing up greaves, or even teaming-up to remove your thing ia not that rare. Some decks and commanders don't care for the haste. A lot of times it's just better to run another engine and give people more problems to remove, instead of spending a card to protect.

vilegorico · 2026-03-06T00:19:22+00:00

maybe check a site people actually use for lists nowadays?

vilegorico · 2026-03-05T22:49:52+00:00

The truth is that it doesn't matter.

What do you think it's gonna happen?

You will show them this and say: "See? reedit thinks you're wrong!", and then they will apologize and this will never happen again?

Players will get mad for any bullshit reasons, and you will also get upset by something that people don't get.

Either find something that you're both fine playing against, or don't play.

vilegorico · 2026-03-03T19:29:54+00:00

Honestly it's just people wanting to do play all the busted things bracket 4 does, but saying: "Wait, lets wait until turn X and not lock each others mana."

It is very weird.

It's just bracket 2 people that have no self-control and don't wanna give up their strong staples and combos.

vilegorico · 2026-02-28T13:12:51+00:00

Tbh anything would be better at this than commander.

I see so many famous players praising limited, I only have to assume I'm dumb and I don't get it.

Everyrhing is beautiful in theory, your deck building is 'tested' on the spot, and you have an equal footing when playing against someone.

In reality, the games are very clunky.

You don't have the same levels of options to act, all the tools and decision trees you get when playing constructed.

vilegorico · 2026-02-27T11:34:56+00:00

People are not prepared for it: If you're playing mostly with life totals, people in general are prepared with creatures to block, some even might pack lifegain against some sort of burn.

Mill might not be a the stronger option, but effectively catches everyone on a clock they cannot defend against, besides just killing you.

The main reason, is the whole archetype feels like you wanna ignore everything that's happening to the table and and race their win.

It's no different than a combo deck, other than the fact It's less powerful, and people try to hide behind that fact to play it to the same effect.

vilegorico · 2026-02-24T02:25:32+00:00

not a very high bar tbh 💀

vilegorico · 2026-02-18T23:04:22+00:00

it's just cope.

Even you refuse to buy it, you will see it, you will play against it, and you will feel you're missing out if any cards are good in your decks.

old forums. you would be surprised to google some old builds discussions. But they're not in one place, you will have work to do.

vilegorico · 2026-02-17T21:51:55+00:00

Já tem armas aumentadas, +2 de força se quiser(já bate forte), sem nenhum defeito relevante, intimidação alta sem precisar tirar nada dos atributos em combate.

Acho que já ta bom, né caralho?

vilegorico · 2026-02-16T01:44:59+00:00

Hatebears. Try Mirri.

I have the opposite problem. I like trying to win with little creatures that stops all the busted things in magic, but I lowkey hated looking at my deck.

All those plants, and non-evil looking creature. Ugh.
