My Attempt on an Aetherborn Tribal Deck


As the blog post says it, I decided to create an initial decklist of this new tribe for the Aether Revolt Standard format. The main cause of this was the card Midnight Entourage. As I first saw this new Protoss err Aetherborn lord, I immediately scan the Aether Revolt spoilers as well as the Kaladesh set for its other potential components.

Mono Black is always the easy way to go and thus, presenting the initial decklist:

Creatures
4 Gifted Aetherborn
4 Metallic Mimic
4 Midnight Entourage
4 Syndicate Trafficker
3 Vengeful Rebel
3 Yahenni, Undying Partisan
2 Gonti, Lord of Luxury
4 Weaponcraft Enthusiast

Spells
4 Grasp of Darkness
2 Fatal Push
1 Liliana, the Last Hope
2 Sinister Concoction

Lands
1 Blighted Fen
3 Evolving Wilds
19 Swamp

For card info reference, just check the official Aether Revolt Card spoilers at the Wizards website.

What best color should I splash? Would this be stable just being Mono Black? Your comments and suggestions are very welcome.
