Playing against monoblack feels so unfair you guys. I get so far under them and every time they try to remove my guys is a two for one on MY end and they have to keep trying to remove them because if they start dropping permanents like desecration Demon or Grey Merchant they just die.
Last night I played paper Magic for the first time since before Born of the Gods came out. Ran good ol' mono-black devotion, managed to go 3-1 and got some store credit.
It was my first time playing with Bile Blight. That card is nuts in the current format. Like holy hell, how did that get printed as an Instant?
I also played against a mono-black aggro deck and I was quite impressed with it. Their clock could become unreasonably fast. It felt more like RDW than anything else.

I feel like mtg hitler every week I continue to play it
Also yes mono black aggro is very good and mana confluence will fix the one thing i didn't like: couldn't splash red for burn
Messing around with a more red focused one currently as well.
I wanna tell you to jam some Cacklers into that second list, but I really don't know if that's necessary or if the second point of toughness is relevant.

PV's article has basically the mono red I want to try for flamespeaker, though I would think I'd rather have firefist striker over arena athlete, as much as I like The Baller himself
2 hall of triumph
4 dragon mantle
4 madcap skills
4 titan's strength
18 mountain
2 mutavault, though I expect to skimp on mutavault
also considering everflame over mogis's warhound, though if I went that way it might be contingent on a light white splash for launch the fleets, anax and cymede, and a boros charm or two
Good writers, good content, frequent updates. It's not, like, the Gospel of Magic, but for $3/month it is some of the best Magic content on the Internet.
Yeah, which is a good way to find out if you enjoy the writers and the style of articles, but so much of Magic content is interesting because it reflects and comments on what has happened in the last week.

The reason Pauper is the best format is because Gush is legal.
Right, but it doesn't play any blue for card draw? Jeez.
you draw off the cycle land, chromatic stars and wellsprings that you conviniently sac to crack the earth and kuldotha rebirth, and an instant for R that gives a dude haste and you draw a card that name escapes me
and haunted fengraf x2 means you essentially have 6 crushers
This is a deck I've been honestly thinking about putting together for multiplayer funtimes. I still want to see how 40 Lightning Bolts 20 mountains would work, though.

I'm considering it at the moment. Thoughts?

Yup.
It might be worth it to pay for Premium if it's important for you to stay up to the day (beyond the free content).

my friend plays that. its the grindy-est thing
I usually play mono green beats but I have a very hard time vs slivers with that, so occasionally i'll play mono red tron instead

I am playing black/white stacks and tokens
my opponent is on black green with a red splash
I happen to have mirran crusader (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=213802)
I land a sword of fire and ice (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=370471)
But I need to wait a turn to use it
He has one out in his deck to get rid of my crusader before it takes over the game and that card is Chaos Warp (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=338441)
He draws it, hits my mirran crusader, who shuffles in, and is the card chosen randomly
the dude flipped his shit
"fuckin lucksack" etc etc
i get a foil starfish
i'm not sure who wins this one

yoooooooooooo
A list of things, should you be of the gifting persuasion
nothing worse than getting slapped in the face with a Worldspine Wurm
Do you have a list?
