It could be primary black control-mostly black, with some support from the other colors, but i don't think it has enough finishers. Griselbrand is the only exception.http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75842/29219655/07062012_TWTW:_Summer_Blockbusters_(and_Sleeper_Hits)?post_id=521601595#521601595I'm still skeptical monoblack control will be viable.
