hey guys, i saw a deck like this one that i am about to post while playing on a forbidden program that steals money from wizards of the coast :P. I loved the idea so much that i got the guy to send me his list, unfortunately it kind of sucked so i tuned it up a bit and ended up with this.

tell me what you think

22 x swamp

4 x dark supplicant
4 x priest of gix
4 x rotlung reanimator
3 x skirsdag high priest
3 x vile deacon
2 x cabal archon
1 x scion of darkness

4 x dark ritual
4 x unearth
3 x sign in blood
2 x go for the throat
2 x doom blade

and there she is. every card in that deck just sceams corrupt church doing nasty things behind closed doors. you have human sacrifice, necromancy, communing with demons and black magic all rolled into 1 extremely fun deck. 

this deck spits out some crazy turns like rotlung reanimator turn three, sacrifice dark supplicant and whatever other cleric and get scion of darkness and 3 zombies on turn 3, so sweet.

i would really like this deck to be more competitive since it is so much fun to play. it's already pretty good but i want it to be just silly. good enough that i can not worry and just have fun with it. 

i would really like to fit grave pact in somewhere because it looks like it would be really mean in the deck. I was thinking it could take vile deacon s slot and i could throw it in there as a 2 of and toss in 1 more skirsdag high priest or cabal archon  

another thing i am looking for is some good lands for a mono black deck. starlit sanctum is probably going in as a 2 of but beyond that i have no idea.

so what do you guys think? what do you think of the deck overall? what cards would you add? what cards would you take away?

looking forward to hearning from you.

cheers

For Mono-Black decks, Cabal Coffers and a mess of swamps will pour out enough dark magic to fuel your craziness all day long.

Sadly, I have no experiance with cleric decks of any kind, so that's all the help I can give. Looks like a fun deck, though.

Funny that you call your topic the Order of the Ebon Hand and then not include the Order of the Ebon Hand in your deck list .

Black Clerics and no profane prayers ?! 

Landwise, 3 cabal coffers and 3 Urborgs should surfice for all you mana needs.

Meh, I expected the Ebon hand to be here but it isn't ...
My decks, mostly casuals, but some I use online with some small changes:

I have a B/W version of this from when Onslaut block came out, it gets pretty nasty.

@kingofgames
unfortunately cabal coffers are like 10 bucks apiece and i dont know anybody that has any so i wont be able to put any in the deck.

@maurice
i didn't even know there was a card called order of the ebon hand. it just popped into my head and sounded like a cool name for a group of evil clerics. if it was better i might have added it.

@evilgit860
profane prayers is good but it didnt make the final list because i felt the deck would be too spell heavy and it needs a lot of creatures to sacrifice for all the effects. [cabal coffers[/card] as above. is there any reason to have urborg, tomb of yawgmoth in here? i can't think of any reason.

@beniwiwi
i'm suprised that it is actually bothering people. it's not that great of a card

thanks for the advice guys.

I think its just what you named the thread and the lack of the actual card, no big deal. As for Urborg its great in a deck with swamp walk or in a 2 color version like mine. Other then that I don't see much use unless it dubs swamps swamp twice and then let the coffers produce twice as much, but I doubt they work that way.

Order of the Ebon Hand actually is pretty good, first strike with the ability to buff power can make combat frustrating. Your deck wants more guys anyway, maybe cut dark ritual for it?

I would add 3 or 4 Cabal Coffers .

You should also consider Consume spirit , it does some crazy damage with some Cabal Coffers .
