    Re: Mono Black Contamination

    Hm.. probably something along the lines of:

    4 Gravecrawler
    2-3 Carrion Feeder (great with crawler and sac-dudes.)
    3-4 draw-cards zombie (whatever that 1-drop is)
    2-4 Ophiomancer (powers the engine, stalls the game)

    4 Mutavault

    3-4 Bitterblossom
    1-2 Zombie Infestation or Necromancer's Stockpile ( tosses garbage, saves your enchant, helps recur and get value from Gravecrawler?)
    1-2 Jitte

    then fill it out.


    I think it has potential because you can get lots of synergies in there and try to make the deck good even if it doesn't find it's combo. The main thing I was pointing out that just Mutavault + Gravecrawler is enough to give yet-another-contamination-engine.

    hi. played this list (-1 wear // tear, +1 hide // seek in sideboard), in local tournament with 4 rounds, and went 3 wins and 1 draw (i would win that game, but there wasnt more time). this deck plays almost like zombardment. it is just brilliant, very powerfull in very skill hands (unfortenatly not my case), and who loves zombardment this deck is very fun.

    games:

    infect: 2-1
    death&taxes: 2-0
    nic fit: 1-1
    turbo dephs: 2-0

    I got bored of my other deck and played this tonight. Went 2-2. Beat grixis delver and miracles. Lost to elves and miracles. I remember the elves matchup being miserable...vs miracles I just had bad luck and some poor play on my part.

    Re: Mono Black Contamination

    Oophimancer and Yawgmoth make for a quite synergistic combo. Im tempted to jam a mostly black Nic Fit list with a light splash that plays...
    Contamination
    Bitterblossom
    Ophiomancer
    Yawgmoth, Thran Physician
    Academy Rector
    Curses
    Veteran Explorer
    Cabal Therapist
    Cabal Therapy
    Hymn to Tourach
    Inquisiton of Kozilek
    Thoughtseize
    Dark Ritual
    Phyrexian Tower

    12-16 powerful sac outlets and 12-16 creature sources that you want to sac. Perfectly balanced...

    Re: Mono Black Contamination

    i spent a day and worked out the cards and numbers. this is what i came up with.
    i'm just not sure how many token producers you need to sustain a contamination lock once you clear away the counter spells.

    thoughts?

    4 mutavault
    1 inventors' fair
    2 maze of ith
    3 urborg, tomb of yawgmoth
    2 wasteland
    swamps


    1 gate to phyrexia
    3 innocent blood
    1 karakas
    1 crucible of worlds

    4x Scroll of fate to feed the lock. Might as well throw in dreadnoughts too. I'll jam a list in paper one of these days and report back. Sol lands + Urborg - Trinisphere seems great.

    good inclusion for dreadnought, but then do you go all the way with the sol lands, drop the 1cmc discard and commit to 4 chalice of the void?

    From my limited testing running some pretty wild lists, I've found I prefer the discard in the main (with Chalice in the sb). 1-drops give us discard, ritual and unearth (a great card with torpor orbs in the main). Sol lands + petals helps power out scrolls and torpor orb. Torpor Orb beyond nuking ETB's opens up the possibility of running hunted horror which can also be a hell of a clock. Even with Chalice though you never have truly dead cards in hand with Scroll... Given the prevalence of depths decks bitterblossom seems great, however one thing I've noticed is that when running ancient tomb/thoughtseize/bitterblossom you can start clocking your life total really fast... There is a lot of creative space if you have an open mind...
