    [Deck] Blight Moon (Br AggroControl)

    This deck was born out my experiments with old black-based aggro's general gameplan of disrupt - more disrupt - drop some beaters and win before opponent recovers.
    Today's state of Legacy is not good for yer old Dark Ritual into Hypnotic Specter, so I dropped Ritual and the deck moved closer and closer to Confidant-based aggro-control type. Then I realized that Grim Lavamancer is awesome in this kind of decks. Br list was very light on red and usually required only 1 red source, so Magus of the Moon jumped into disruption package and it felt right.
    So here is the decklist:

    Mana (22)
    4 Badlands
    3 Bloodstained Mire
    3 Marsh Flats
    12 Swamp

    Creatures (20)
    3 Grim Lavamancer
    3 Phyrexian Revoker
    4 Dark Confidant
    3 Gatekeeper of Malakir
    4 Magus of the Moon
    3 Braids, Cabal Minion

    Spells (18)
    4 Lightning Bolt
    4 Inquisition of Kozilek
    4 Hymn to Tourach
    3 Terminate
    1 Umezawa's Jitte
    2 Liliana of the Veil

    Sideboard
    3 Duress
    4 Red Elemental Blast
    3 Surgical Extraction
    2 Tormod's Crypt
    3 free slots

    I had limited testing in MWS (not good, but better than nothing).
    The deck is
    - good versus tribal (Bolt, Mancer, Jitte),
    - not bad versus U-based combo (11 discard and 3 REB after boarding),
    - good versus greedy manabases (obv Magus, also Hymn hitting lands and Mancer/Revoker shutting down manadorks and moxes).
    The main problem is the big dude slot. Obliterator is good, but quad makes it inconsistent. I had no problems with three under Magus, but four are a little bit too much.
    Since opponent will have no problems with red mana, finisher should be bolt-proof (thus Bloodline Keeper and Olivia Voldaren are out).
    Abyssal Persecutor needs more ways to get rid of.
    Phyrexian Crusader is counterproductive with bolts and mancer.
    I am now testing Demigod of Revenge in that slot, but there should be something better.
    Other than that, the deck feels more or less finished and capable of winning different matchups.

    That's all for now and I will be glad to hear any advice!

    Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way.
