Have you had any issues with deeds blowing up the table?

Not much I can do about a turn 2 Deed sadly.

I hope this thread isn't too old to get a reply from still, I just read it the other day.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this article. I have been interested in making a mono black deck for a while but am just not familiar enough with the color, and this was very insightful. I was hoping someone could enlighten me though as to why one Demonic Tutor and Yawgmoth's Will are part of the 6 essentials in general or specifically for this deck. I can see how Yawgmoth's Will would be amazing in this deck especially, but why just one of each? Is it in case you get milled or something like that? I think there is just something big I'm missing.

Also, I really liked the recursive knight idea with Haakon and want to try building a deck with it. When I read that about Nameless Inversion I flipped out a little, that is just awesome. I was curious what you would choose in a decklist for that. Going the same way with Gibbering Descent-Discard/Control, but instead of Glacial Chasm, Contamination, and rack effects, maybe Haakon/Knights. It just doesn't seem to have the same synergy, the use of Descent's hellbent effect is brilliant. Another thing is the creatures seem more tailored for 1-on-1 instead of multiplayer so maybe using The Rack instead of Rackling would also be good. So yeah I was wondering what you would change in it.

Ah I see. Most of the people in the group I play with are pretty new to Magic, including myself, so we don't really have any set restrictions, they just have to be real cards. But then there is the whole price issue too.

Oh ok, I noticed that link but I haven't gotten to reading it yet. Sorry, I should have checked there first. Thanks! And again, good work with the guides, very nice.

Old thread, I know, but I recently decided to try this deck out in my multiplayer group.  I will say that this definitely draws hate, and lots of it.  I have a question though, if you wouldn't mind

- Is Smallpox an acceptable substitute for Pox in your final deck list?
- What are your preferred tutor targets when you do eventually draw Demonic Tutor ?
- Do you ever put down Glacial Chasm before you can get Gibbering Descent into play?

I find myself hamstrung on mana if anyone else runs Pox/smallpox and opponents like to save counterspells for Mindslicer .  If I hold back until get I can fully combo a mindslicer with smallpox and active my hideaway lands, chances are I get killed before that can happen.  I can't win them all and I get that, but I feel like I am missing something crucial when playing this deck.

thanks in advance 

What!  
No Gibbering Descent ?
Are you feeling okay Tich? 


LOL
To be honest, I've been playing the cloister in my discard deck too, but I've been chumped a few times by Bottomless Pit , has me nervous to play it.   How does this deck compare to your typical Gibbering Descent deck you shared a while back?
