Yeah, so i took an old Pre-rotation deck of mine and decided it wouuld look good as a pioneer deck. Added some new and old cards, and i think its pretty good. But I'm just another standard player who doesn't have a clue about anything higher-powered than standard. So, any cards i should add.
You'd be surprised. Last time i went to Fnm i went 2-1, and the only once i lost was my deck had a weakness to flyers at the time, and he made a few lucky draws.
Usually i tend to stay away from those cards as well, but for this deck they can ease up the life costs that come from playing K'rrik. Also, do you means bad as in unplayable or bad as in badly designed?
s, i was going to fnm with my black devotion deck. I start out pretty well, beating one of my old rivals new aura resurrection deck (it was weird).I lost to my nemesis when he drew both his vraska's to answer the Underworld dreams that i had sideboarded in. Then i went onto the third round (there were only 6 people, meaning 3 rounds, not 4). While i was unsideboarding he saw my cats and asked if i was running the oven combo. i said yes and he declared that that was the wrong way to play the deck. he also said that his deck was budget, Even though it was 110$ and claimed that his deck (he was also running black devotion) was superior to mine. He was my round 3 opponent.
The first game, he drew not, not two, but THREE garys, as well as the mana to pay for them, and a buch of other crap. I win through Bloodthirsty arielist, since i get a LOT of lifegain triggers.
Game 2: he gets 3 Nightmare shepards, but i manage to drain him out.
After this, he just Goes on a rant at me about how I'm an annoying little kid and i was a nightmare to play against. I was honestly confused (i'm 15 BTW). Besides complaining about his getting the 3 garys and the three Shepards (one sentance apiece) i had barely said anything. He said that i made everyone at the table miserable. The only person who agreed with him was the same person who once held me in place until my Dreadhorde invasion killed me because i removed his Alternate Liliana that he got for his birthday (but that's another story). The guy i played against then stormed off and left the store.l
Sanitarium Skeleton is a card i found when browsing for black one-drops. since i cant drop an extra 20$ on a playset of gutterbones, i thought it might be a good budget option.
For 3 drops i decided to go for Underworld Dreams. My deck had a tad too many creatures already, and 3 devotion that is not easily removed, plus pining my enemy for 1 more each draw sounds pretty nice to me.Blight-Breath Catoblepas i replaced with Bolas's citadel for card draw like you recommended, plus 3 devotion. i replaced the witches cottages with normal swamps, as Castles are a little too far off my budget. and i removed one of the ovens. a 1/1 for 1 that dranins when it ETB's is decent, so I'm fine keeping that in.
sorry about the complaining, I'm just a bit annoyed that most of my posts are getting ignored.

just a mono black devotion deck that i started. however, i'm not omniscient, so i probably missed some cards that are perfect for this deck. but that's what these forums are for right?
But of course, everyone is going to ignore this post just like all of the others, so why even try?
but hey, maybe this time will be the time that someone replies to one of my decklists. just maybe
20 Swamps
4 Witches cottage
4 Cauldron Familiar
4 witches oven
4 Grey Merchant of Asphodel
2 Erobos, bleak-Hearted
4 Yarok's Fenlurker
3 Araya, First of the Lochtwain
3 drill bit
4 drag to the underworld
4 blood for bones
2 omen of the dead
3 Tyremeat, Chosen from death
yeah, so everyone pretty much knows that black devotion will be a thing once theros comes out, but here's me take on it. think it could be any good? is it just some pile of garbage? well, i posted this in another section and nobody replied, so i'm trying again
I am aware this isn't scry. and you obviously didn't get my joke. This is a ramped up version of scry, so i said Scry 2. As in Scry 2.0. not scry 2 cards
Now THIS is Synergy. you flicker this with thassa, and you've got yourself Scry 2: I see everything coming from a mile away. But yeah, this is definitly going to make mono blue devotion more of a Draw style with Jace. Dammit, i had just finished my video on why Wizards is trying to keep blue devotion to stay bad. Welp, thats an hour of my life wasted
You do realize That white has the best enchantment remove (in Revoke Existence, and just got a COMMANDER STAPLE as one of the cards in this set. So no, they do not want white to be the worst color
Upgrades for when i get the $$$
Nive-mizzet,Parun-->Nicol bolas,the Ravager
Ashiok, Dream render---> ashiok, nightmare weaver
