Many things happened this week. Tempest Remastered is announced; Nothing can I trust in old cards anymore. Rebound is confirmed as a mechanism in Dragons of Tarkir; I started to collect Monastery Mentor.
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx 4
Results: The standard is too fast for a Mono black deck like the one we played in the previous Standard. We shouldn't build around it.
Please go to the following pages for other potential decks:
Ramp Decks
Black Devotion
Mono Red with Dragon Whisperer
I am also busy drafting Fate Khans Khans, during which I found a possible card for Black devotion: Ancestral Vengeance.
In a draft, I didn't read clearly the text and put it on one of my creatures,without a choice, I put the +1/+1 on it too. I thought it add -1/-1 counter on another creature and make its target +1/+1. Whatever it does, I can put it on a creature for devotion.
The spoiled cards like Risen Executioner and Sidisi, Undead Vizier have given me some ideas of what a black devotion deck is like.
The deck may be like this one:
Risen Executioner 4
Gray Merchant of Asphodel 4
a three drop zombie 4
Hero's Downfall 4
Ancestral Vengeance 4
Other removals 4-6
Palace Siege 2-4
Whip of Erebos 2
Whip of Erebos 2
Thoughseize 4
a card drawing spell 4
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx 4
20 Swamps
You may splash a few copies of Crater's Claws. Other colors are also welcomed to be in this deck.
I hope in Dragons there will be a card going well with Palace Siege's "Khans" ability.
