Casual Monoblack Metalcraft

Uh, so when I was drafting yesterday I saw this and I was all like, what? But that... Ohhh. So obviously we start with

4 Phylactery Lich

Then we want some good cheap artifacts like

4 Darksteel Axe

and

4 Memnite

and

4 Contagion Clasp

Hmm... let's come back for more artifacts later. I know we'll want some, but let's wait a second to find out. Because I think we want...

4 Black Knight

How about some removal?

4 Grasp of Darkness
2 Carnifex Demon

So we still need some more artifacts. What's the curve like?

0-4
1-4
2-12
3-4
6-2

26 total cards. Right now, we are looking at 22-24 total land so we could probably add 10-12 cards. Let's see what's exciting at 3 for artifacts.

Mimic Vat
Strata Scythe
Whispersilk Cloak

How about 4?

Lux Cannon and Molten-tail Masticore both seem sexy. And expensive...I guess Chrome Steed could get there.

So, 2 Mimic Vat, 2 Strata Scythe, 2 Whispersilk Cloak, 4 Chrome Steed. Needs two more. How about 2 Bleak coven Vampires?

So this would be the list...

Wait! Better idea. 4 Sphere of the Suns instead of 2 Strata Scythe

4 Memnite
4 Darksteel Axe
4 Sphere of the Suns
4 Contagion Clasp
4 Black Knight
4 Grasp of Darkness
4 Phylactery Lich
2 Mimic Vat
4 Chrome Steed
2 Bleak Coven Vampires
2 Carnifex Demon

22 Swamp

How about that?
