Mono black! It's maybe my favorite color to play. Originally I had Ob Nixilis, the Fallen as the general because I thought his landfall trigger was considered general damage, which it sadly isn't. So I went with Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief
and man is she hot. A flying, pumpable, general with instant removal built in is really tough to play against. As far as the rest of the deck goes, it's pretty much just good stuff. I wanted a quintessential mono black deck that uses demonic flavored cards, that has no gains without sacrifice, and demonic resurrection. I also built in some good ways to get my hands on lots of mana to dump into Consume Spirit
, Exsanguinate
, and Drana.
