Magic: the Gathering DMU Standard Deck Tech: Mono-Black Syphon Aggro

Another day, another Magic: the Gathering Standard deck tech with Dominaria United. The new set along with the Standard rotation has opened new deck builds with the new cards. For today’s deck build feature, we have the Mono-Black Syphon Aggro deck.

I would consider this deck name because of the deck’s main strategy: winning via syphoning life out of opponents and to make sure each of your card’s effects affect the life totals. Here below is the first version decklist, and I will follow-up soon with a Standard deck tech video on my Youtube Channel. If you’d plan to try this out on Magic Arena, please go ahead and I’d appreciate you’d do the testing ahead. Any feedback and recommendations are highly appreciated.
