M21 Update on Mono Black Devotion

Checking Twitch streamers of Magic: the Gathering Arena has got me looking on the deck brews that they feature in a certain stream period or on their scheduled posts. The Tier ones are usually there with a few upgrades from Core Set 2021, especially Temur Reclamation that has dominated the last Red Bull Untapped Tournament. One of the deck brew that got my attention was the Mono Black list that was played for competitive ranking. The list was sort of curving well aggressively while finishing up opponents with their creatures enchanted to be a Flying Demon. I have thought that a Devotion strategy is also possible in this route.

With a few notes on the matches, here is what I think the deck will look like.

2 Blacklance Paragon
4 Gray Merchant of Asphodel
4 Gutterbones
4 Knight of Ebon Legion
3 Rankle, Master of Pranks
3 Rotting Regisaur
4 Spawn of Mayhem
4 Yarok’s Fenlurker

4 Demonic Embrace
1 Eliminate
3 Grasp of Darkness

4 Castle Locthwain
20 Swamp
