Dies to Removal

Exactly, and Master of the Feast is a similarly large undercosted creature.

My post is ambigous, I was talking about Master in the second sentence.

Hmmmm... players like val seems too believe this will be a removal lite format - Master could be decent if that is true however not so much with the discard package.

Perhaps in a Br deck with burn as reach like:

[deck=Black-Red Aggro by Jeff Hoogland (edited for master via cutting discard)]CREATURES (28)
4 Tormented Hero
4 Gnarled Scarhide
4 Bloodsoaked Champion
4 Goblin Rabblemaster
4 Spiteful Returned
4 Herald of Torment
4 Master of the Feast

PLANESWALKERS (0)
None

SPELLS (10)
3 Magma Jet
4 Lightning Strike
3 Stoke the Flames

LANDS (22)
4 Temple of Malice
4
Bloodstained Mire
2 Mountain
2 Mana Confluence
10 Swamp[/deck]

This is another Jeff list which seems decent except for the part where it tries too run RR and BB in the same deck

I'll imagine Stoke the Flames will generally be near impossible to cast without damaging your early game (unless we're going too assume that this is a removal lite format so Rabble Master will be enough too generate the Red).

Do you guys like Master of the Feast in MBA? Is the 5/5 flier on turn 3 worth the significant card disadvantage?

The guys in Sally love it but it seems really counter productive if your on the 4x Thoughtseize and 4 Mardu Skullhunter plan...

I think this deck can handle 1-2 murderous cut at most (even with fetch lands) my current favorite brew will be Jeff Hoogland approach:

[deck]Mono-Black Aggro by Jeff Hoogland[/deck]

In regards with SB - I'm liking additional: 2x Mogis's Marauder for non-black heavy decks, 4x Despise for durdle decks, 4x Pharika's Cure for aggro decks, 2x Erebos, God of the Dead for lifegain deck and additional 2x Bile Blight with maybe 1x Murderous Cut in the SB (I think 5cc is allot to ask for).

I also really like Jsilv's MBA list - its has MD CA and it runs (imo) the perfect
number of Murderous Cut followed with 1x Urborg for those games where you don't want to fetch my only complaint is that it doesn't have those nuts T1 1x Creature, T2 2x Creature and T3 Hall plays though I'll imagine that would be quite rare so Jsilv list is most likely better.

Lp or anyone, did you guys test MonoBlack yet? If so how did the deck fair against midrange and R Aggro?
