Temple of Triumph (Block Constructed) ⇒ Mono Black Aggro

[Toddington]

Hi all, I don't know if anyone wants to think about Block Constructed till all the cards are out, but I like to get a feel for the format. Especially this year, as GP Manchester is coming to England! Thoughtseize is the best card in the format right?

[deck=MBA]
Sorcery (4)
4x Thoughtseize

Instant (8)
4x Bile Blight
4x Hero's Downfall

Artifact (2)
2x Springleaf Drum

Land (22)
1x Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
21x Swamp

Creature (24)
4x Agent of the Fates
4x Herald of Torment
4x Mogis's Marauder
4x Pain Seer
4x Spiteful Returned
4x Tormented Hero

Sideboard (15)
4x Dark Betrayal
1x Erebos, God of the Dead
4x Gild
4x Pharika's Cure
2x Whip of Erebos[/deck]
Ignore the Sideboard, it's a pile.

This deck loses little from it's standard equivalent, notably [card]Rakdos
Cackler[/card] and Mutavault. We're going to try and get clever with Agent of the Fates instead. I'm not sure if this is the best plan, as this deck is essentially a pile at 3CMC.

I feel like [card]Mogis's Marauder[/card] is actually good, especially when you curve Pain Seer into it and keep chaining them together.

The Springleaf Drums are pretending to be the 23rd land, 23 and 24 land felt too floody. You also feel super clever when you inspire Pain Seer without combat .
