i said last week i was going to do black/white control for the past fnm, i couldnt get it built in time so i had to use the BWR deck instead (went 5-1). i got my list laid out and looking at it, idk if im to happy with it, it just doesnt seem to have the umph im looking for
4 demons
4 blood baron
3 obzedat
3 elspeth
4 doomblade
4 downfall
4 thoughtseize
3 devour flesh
2 chain to the rocks
2 underworld connection
2 whip of erebos
4 godless shrine
4 temple of silence
and some combination of 17 swamps/ plains depending on the final build
i dont have pack rats, which will hurt me i kno. i want as much removal as i can get, which is why i like BWR but everyone says the deck sucks so. wanting something GP worthy, without pack rat for now
You can't run 4 Doom Blade right now, that's just suicide. Chain to the Rocks also requires a Mountain; if you try to get clever and run it with just 4 Sacred Foundry or something, you'll no doubt be disappointed as you need to draw the Foundry to even cast it.
If you don't want to run Pack Rat, I'd recommend Alms Beast instead. It's an alternative to Demon. If you've ever played Demon, you know how good it is; having 2 extra copies (in a sense) seems powerful, and you dodge Bile Blight come BotG (no free wins with Pack Rat, though).
yeah idk why i put chain to the rocks in there, i was looking at it and wasnt thinking. i play with 4 demons in my BWR so i kno their power and game controlling potential. i forgot about alms beast. i kno in most areas 4 doom blade is bad but, in my area monoblue, r/g devotion, naya, and rdw are very popular. typically theres 35 ppl at my fnm's, theres 3 mono black ppl, and a couple jund, the rest dont ever run black so us ppl who do run black always have 4 doomblade main. thats a good list to start off from though, thanks
