New Posts For Thread: mono black ramphttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75842/29135011/mono_black_rampI have friends with mono green ramp decks and I think they look fun but I'm just not inspired to make one myself (not yet at least). Instead, I thought I'd take a shot at something less mainstream. I don't want to to spend a ton of money since the ce6 cmc is actually a little low for the amount of ramp you are running and is at the very bottom of the scale. I would take out the 5cmcs and replace with more 9cmcs. Playing 4 full copies of army of the damned would be funny.a phage the untouchabhttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75842/29135011/mono_black_ramp?post_id=520048403#5200484036 cmc is actually a little low for the amount of ramp you are running and is at the very bottom of the scale.

Summoning sickness sucks. Your math is wrong. Basalt monolith can be played just as intended, you do not have to cheat with a voltaic key. You can just pay the mana to untap it like normal.
