Overview:
This is a Historic mono-black midrange deck built around Phylactery Lich
and Phyrexian Obliterator
. I found the devotion build with Gray Merchant of Asphodel
to be unreliable and slow, so I built the deck without weak devotion creatures like Tymaret, Chosen from Death
or Yarok's Fenlurker
. This opened up more card slots for artifacts and spells to make the deck more competitive against the historic metagame.
To enable Phylactery Lich, cheap artifacts like Shadowspear
, Grafdigger's Cage
, and Treasure Map // Treasure Cove
are necessary to play the Lich on curve. Treasure Map // Treasure Cove has a neat interaction where phylactery counters from Phylactery Lich stay on the permanent when Treasure Map transforms, making the Lich even harder to remove since the counters are on a land.
Karn, Scion of Urza
, Arguel's Blood Fast // Temple of Aclazotz
, Castle Locthwain
, and Treasure Map // Treasure Cove are the card-advantage engines of the deck. Karn can also make artifact creatures for phylactery counters, and these creatures get boosted by Treasure tokens from transforming a Treasure Map. I like a one-of Arguel's Blood Fast as a faster Castle Locthwain.
Enchanting a Phylactery Lich with Eternal Thirst
is fun combo to annihilate red mages with a 5/5 indestructible lifelinker. Knight of the Ebon Legion
is also a good target for Eternal Thirst in the mid- to late-game once you can pump it up. Eternal Thirst is very powerful in the right matchups, and its ability to add +1/+1 counters shouldn't be ignored.
Phyrexian Obliterator is the curve-topper capable of taking over games by itself. Exceptional against aggro decks, but is weaker in control matchups.
Sideboard:
Languish
and Ritual of Soot
are sweepers for matchups like Elves and Mono-White lifegain that go too wide for the main deck to handle.
Drag to the Underworld
replaces Never // Return
in matchups where the opponent is not playing planeswalkers, and instant-speed removal is more imperative (i.e., Questing Beast
).
Noxious Grasp
against green or white decks.
Damping Sphere
against Forsaken Monument
, Nissa, Who Shakes the World
, and Arclight Phoenix
decks.
Leyline of the Void
against Rakdos Arcanist, Lurrus of the Dream-Den
, and any other deck that relies on its graveyard.
Grafdigger's Cage against graveyard decks, Jund Sacrifice, Collected Company
, and Muxus, Goblin Grandee
.
Underworld Dreams
against Gandalfs (Blue-White Control).
Vraska's Contempt
for when instant-speed exile is really important.
