@ Duxx - your ultimate play is discard to make a rat. Turn 4 is very situational. If it's an aggro deck you want to put the demon down. It's like having another removal spell. If the don't sac a guy, it's usually 6 damage, at its worst the are blocking with a smaller flier and you are getting rid if a guy anyway. In the control match up the Erebos is the choice. Play it more and it will come second nature to you.
@ soviet - the B/W deck seems to be making a surge as of late. It's better against monsters (lifebane main) and it's better against us (mono black) is that the direction we should be going ?
I'm glad we are talking about this! I just signed up for GP Cincinnati and have been running mono black for a good 3 months now. I like both of these decks but dropping nightveil altogether seems a little rough. Granted I have 4x life banes coming out of the board to help fight the G/R matchup. If you were leaving tomorrow what deck would you bring to the GP?
Another thing, did Nam have 2 watery graves in the main to help with his 1x notion thief? What do we think of a 2x temple of deceit, 2x temple of silence split?
