The Stand | Mono Black Crime Syndicate | OTJ Standard Ranked Bo1 | MTG Arena

Greetings and Welcome my friends! You have come over to the Shark Side!

This is The Stand, the Mono Black deck featuring men that thrive on crime. We've got hand disruption, removals, and Legends that can dominate the board. Our men love crimes and we get triggers with every crime. The majority our deck is fast, low cost cards but we do have a couple men to help clean up in the later stages of the game.

Fun Meter Rating: 6. We always shoot for fun but this one slipped away.

Win Rate: 67%. Once we made the most recent round of changes the deck took off. Win Rate with all versions: 50%.

Deck List:
2 Corrupted Conviction
4 Duress
4 Forsaken Miner
3 Insatiable Avarice
4 Blood Hustler
3 Go for the Throat
4 Raven of Fell Omens
3 Vadmir, New Blood
3 Sheoldred, the Apocalypse
3 Gisa, the Hellraiser
3 Virtue of Persistence
3 Arid Archway
15 Swamp
3 Forlorn Flats
3 Soured Springs

Crafting Guide for The Stand:
Avarice is incredible card draw that is also a tutor. Other card draw would work as well. Craft at your discretion.
Vadmir is one of our key men. You'll want to have him available. Craft all 3.
Sheoldred is very strong even though she is not focused on crimes. Craft at your discretion.
Gisa is our top end. She does thrive on crimes and will close out a game quickly. Craft at least 2.
The Black Virtue is a critical piece to any Black deck. Craft all 3.

Stay Safe out there!
