That guy looks retarded, but I have to commend him for naming his deck Angry white people.

A+

@a_skeleton_02 I need your help brewing a mono black deck splashing Street riot, for obvious reasons

Cut the red splash and add Chromatic Lantern play cast down, moment of craving, vraskas contempt and eldest reborn and chuppacabra, plague crafter for removal.

Play duress

Play Discovery//Dispersal and that draw a card lose a life guy.

I'd win with Karn and doomwhisperer.

Play 25/6 lan

Edit: Play the cabal land and that 4 drop you kick to make zombies.

Also ritual of soot is good especially in BO1

I'm tempted between that, or pointing out that dauntless bodyguard is in fact black.

I just unlocked the 5 dual color decks.

Amazing how much free stuff they hand out.

pretty dumb letting rat colony and persistent priest into singleton

I run Ixalan's binding so that was a pretty fun game

That guy? You mean Pewdiepie? One of the most recognizable and famous people on the planet?

P.S Go sub to him.

What’s the list your using?
It's within 3 cards of the list I posted last page.
4 Llanowar Elves (DAR) 168
10 Forest (RIX) 196
3 Hydroid Krasis (RNA) 183
5 Island (RIX) 193
2 Zegana, Utopian Speaker (RNA) 214
2 Hadana's Climb (RIX) 158
4 Merfolk Branchwalker (XLN) 197
4 Wildgrowth Walker (XLN) 216
4 Jadelight Ranger (RIX) 136
4 Growth-Chamber Guardian (RNA) 128
3 Incubation Druid (RNA) 131
2 Vivien Reid (M19) 208
4 Hinterland Harbor (DAR) 240
3 Negate (RIX) 44
4 Breeding Pool (RNA) 246
2 Incubation // Incongruity (RNA) 226

Maybe I'm just lucky. This brew has been destroying the Bo1 queue. At the very least, it's got a good shot against any of the meta decks. It's got enough lifegain to beat RDW and WW variants, and the negates give you a shot against the various control or midrange walker decks since you've got plenty of early beats to put pressure on them and you can generate a ton of card advantage against control via your own Vivien and Growth Chamber Guardians and of course Krasis, so you've got reach. The Negates aren't dead against any decks, they're fine against any of the 3 and 4 mana enchantments that WW plays and I'm not going to complain about Negating a Risk Factor or Experimental Frenzy.

The matchup vs Drakes is a little rough, but Vivien amd Krasis helps. I've won games by jump-blocking drakes with Hadana's Climb.

3 Incubation // Incongruity (RNA) 226
2 Kraul Harpooner (GRN) 136

This is actually my current list.

Trying to make room for a third pooner because I hate losing to mono U, but adding a third makes me weaker in other matches.

Stompy is your worst matchup. Every other midrange or aggro type deck you have a very high win rate because your cards are just better and you gain a bunch of life. Hadana's Climb makes even 1 threat lethal against board sweeper decks so you can just play the "bash them to 8-10 early then play 1 threat at a time" game.

Never really got the "harpooners" for mono u. between, counterspells, siren stormtamer and dive down, the enter the battlefield effect doesnt effect me.
The reach is hardly an issue, should you get one by. none to heralds, little-none to pteramanders. Dive down usually enough for anyone else. can even faerie duelist or trickster to shut one down as needed. As mono-U I have more ways to deal with harpooners, then you have harpooners. not once has a harpooner every lost me a gain.

krasis heal/card draw is more annoying/dangerous. I can't stop that. Vivien if you are foolish enough to not leave some mana for spell pierce. which no one ever does..
just plain getting over run by branchwalkers going wide. throwing a bunch of 2cmc creatures I can't stop. that'll kill mono-u. (granted harpooners do also fill that role. just saying you dont need more.)
