CBG is Gothy and Dark

All this talk about mono black aggro gets me excited. I built MBA on MODO a couple months ago when the excitement of hitting with Liege of the Pit got a little too much to handle. There are enough hasty and evasion creatures in black now to just go very nicely with Bad Moon. Here's my list

22 Swamp

4 Plagued Rusalka
3 Festering Goblin
2 Withered Wretch
2 Mirri the Cursed
4 Deepcavern Imp
4 Dauthi Slayer
4 Gathan Raiders
4 Liege of the Pit
4 Nether Traitor
4 Bad Moon
3 Bottled Cloister

Pretty different, eh? No removal beyond Festering Goblin(!)/Plagued Rusalka(!!) and no Bob. Off color morphs.

This pretty much owns in the casual room, to the point where I stopped playing it there. You can only play so many 5 turn games, you know. Occasionally you get a nothing draw, but a Bad Moon sticking around for 2 turns is pretty much game. Actually, that speaks to the big issue with this deck. Hitting with 2/2s sucks pretty hard compared to hitting with 3/3s. I have no idea how this compares to TS's list because I haven't played his. Liege is occasionally a liability, but you'd be surprised just how effective 7/7 (or 8/8, or 9/9) evasive tramplers are. Turn 4 flips are just a bonus. Even Spectral Force doesn't like to see that. Don't pull the Bottled Cloisters out. They are so good. Even if they have artifact removal, you will rarely lose more than a card. Just make sure to flip Gathan Raiders on your own turn.

It's a little heavy at the three slot. Might go -1 Liege +1 Wretch (especially given how good wretch is against Tarmogoyf). Just a different idea, sparked by my opening of a foil Liege (just like the deck sparked by my opening of a foil Auratouched Mage and the other deck sparked by my opening of a foil Phyrexian Etchings (sounds like a Shivan Hellkite deck is in the offing (or a Pithing Needle deck (Cloud Key=free Pithing Needle(!))))). Have fun and don't think yoo hard.
