Modern Monday: Mono-Black Devotion (Match 3)

Mono-Black is surprisingly well equipped to keep pace in Modern. Could it be underplayed?

7:19 "Fatal push also doesn't kill Celestial Colonnade": Yes it does?

[giovannimedrano]

That mistake towards the end with the Gatekeeper is one of the reasons I always click the spell before producing the mana. Just an extra little moment before everything gets locked in.

[Hopkins]

I was like 90% fatal push killed man lands 7:19 ?
hm

[doomfeast]

Colonnade is a 0-cmc Elemental creature when activated... Push kills every non-Walker threat in UW, outside of Resto.

Dude, you had game when you had kalitas on board with liliana at 3 and a gary in the graveyard. Opponent was at 5 and that would have drained for 6. Opponent only had 2 mana open. You had it. :/ Most of the drawn out games i've won were from gary surprise draining for a bunch. It still still really great seeing you in action and I know how hard it can be to see every interaction.

[djaggro]

20:12 bring back gary with lilliana putting them to one then leechridden gg

[zackbrady]

should have brought messenger back with liliana the turn she was dying. you can sac it to kalitas in response to a path if he had it and it would drain him to 1 where the leech ridden swamp kills him. totally winnable match done thrown there

[EvonyBasics]

If you played Urborg after the spreading seas the land would tap for black I think. I believe it has to do with the layering rules.

[robh]

man that 0-2 beating must of been hard to swallow especially since your opponent played so fucking awfully as well.

[mathijsj]

23:55 why don't you block with obliterator? He'd have to sac four permanents.

[joshuajones]

Push kills Manlands. All of them.
Also, I enjoy your content and decks, but is there any way you could make fewer gross noises into your microphone? It really has me wanting to just give up on your videos.
