It's probably no good for multiplayer though.

Looks good, but yeah I can see multi-player causing a problem. Out of curiosity do you have Lightning Bolts to spare to replace the Lava Spikes with?

I do not. I only own four, and I really hate moving cards between decks. About the only cards I will move are majorly important cards like Tolarian Academy that make a massive difference to the deck.

And besides, Lava Spike is actually a better fit because it's Arcane, even though it's a significantly worse card because of its lack of versatility. I can't piggyback a Glacial Ray or a Psychic Puppetry onto a Bolt, but I can with Lava Spike.

Also, I got a chance to play this deck Saturday night against another one of my decks, a mono-black deck that I've never posted up on this forum apparently. It's the one where I use cards like Nantuko Shade, Kuro, Pitlord Bad Moon, etc.

Usually the black deck's performance is mediocre, as it never draws certain combos that I put into the deck. I keep it together because it's fun and it uses some cards I love, like Phyrexian Dreadnought even though I have never once gotten the Dreadnought into play.

Well, the black deck beat my revamped Unspeakable deck twice in a row. The first game it dropped a Death Pit Offering and Bad Moon before Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder popped out six Thrull tokens which then stomped me to death. The second game it just used Dross Golems and Nightmare to beat me to death before I could do very much. I can't remember the last time I've seen the deck go off that well.

Glad to hear it.
