You know, I've been thinking about Hall of Triumph in MBA to protect against stuff like Drown in Sorrow. Nice to see someone else is thinking the same thing.

I think Mogis's Marauder is the wrong call at least. Or at least in the maindeck. Three of the wedges have black creatures, so they will be able to block the creatures you give Intimidate. The other options are better in my opinion.
Now I'm second guessing this. We'll be losing approximately 25 playable black creatures, and gaining maybe half that number. So Marauder might be the right pick after all. At least until the second set in Khans is released.

With all of this in mind, I think I'm leaning towards Agent. I just realized that Haruspex cannot replace himself, and Platypus has a point about Marauder. I'll still try him out, but Agent might just be the better way to go.

Also, am I being too greedy with my mana?

Mono Black Aggro

I wanted to start a discussion on what MBA could look like after rotation. Initially, this was my starting point in terms of a deck:

[deck]
Lands (20)
20x Swamp

Creatures (29)
4x Bloodsoaked Champion
4x Gnarled Scarhide
3x Grim Haruspex
2x Herald of Torment
4x Mardu Skullhunter
4x Pain Seer
4x Spiteful Returned
4x Tormented Hero

Spells (11)
4x Despise
3x Hero's Downfall
4x Thoughtseize
[/deck]
No sideboard yet.

Then I read Owen T's article this morning, which prompted me to think more along these lines:

[deck]Lands (20)
4x Bloodstained Mire
4x Polluted Delta
12x Swamp

Creatures (27)
4x Bloodsoaked Champion
4x Gnarled Scarhide
3x Grim Haruspex
4x Herald of Torment
4x Mardu Skullhunter
4x Pain Seer
4x Tormented Hero

Spells (13)
3x Hero's Downfall
4x Murderous Cut
2x Sign in Blood
4x Thoughtseize
[/deck]

The thought here being that the fetchlands will help
with Murderous Cut.

I'm still not really sure which direction I should be going. I also wonder if I'm making a mistake by using Grim Haruspex instead of [card]Mogis's Marauder[/card]? Or if they are both the wrong call? Does Haruspex not do enough because I don't have a sac outlet? Would Agent of the Fates be a better choice?
