HE SURE DO BE SLASHING THO! Mono Black Unstoppable Slasher Aggro (Legacy MTG)

[@celestialTangle]

Dual land choices in strictly monocolor decks always fascinate me. Why white-black rather than take the chance to bluff Forg?

[@TheThiccestChungus]

It's THRABEN U, he needs to bluff dnt.

[@robmarney]

Always love a guest appearance by an even crazier brew. Room Dredge!?

[@lorkain]

i think slasher could be good in a dead guy brew with solemnity, wouldnt that just make him truly immortal like a true 90s slasher flick monster?

[@grizzwald15]

🎶He’s hacking and slashing and wacking.🎶 It’s the Hash Slinging Slasher.

16:00 This brings up an interesting point. Keeping a variety of answers in these sorts of situations has a lot of value to it. Varied answers give you more coverage and more flexibility over how you respond to threats. But when it comes to threats, the same principles make it more valuable to double up on a single threat rather than diversifying. The wider variety of threats you deploy, the more options you give your opponent for what answers go where. By deploying multiple of a single threat, you can potentially invalidate one of your opponents answers that doesn't line up well. The reasons to diversify threats are mostly to fit a curve, and to be better against recurrable answers. (I'm not saying the keep is wrong. Just making a general case for splitting answers and pairing threats.)

i've had the idea of mono black moon stompy, where use use contamination and exanguinator cavalry to kind of mirror the red moon stompy lists

[@alexmaragh7766]

I think part of the problem is making black mana is still useful in this meta game

[@gmofftarki]

Is there any thought to bringing in something like a gingerbrute/agatha's soul cauldron package to make Slasher harder to block? You could also bring in a "pay x to untap this creature" to further power up the cauldron and reduce the downside of Slasher getting killed (two turns of stun).

[@llamarama6976]

I don't know if its too mana intensive but the unstoppable slasher plus bloodletter of alcazotz combo is quite interesting in standard and i wonder if there is a mono black control shell that would work for legacy? (It also runs grevious wound but i don't think that card is remotly legacy viable)

[@lanychabot-laroche135]

Your combat math was questionnable a few times. I think you forgot that Slasher has deathtouch.

[@k.schuffs4657]

I think arena of glory would be good in these decks. Its a pretty taxing splash of you want to stay mono black, but the upside seems super high.

[@Alikaoz]

"Opponent isn't on his usual dredge bullshit" Oh nice, queued into Mahfuz!

[@PsychicFrogBoi]

The sadness and horror of finding only 2 occurrences of Psychic Frog in this video! Ribbit Croak =( @00:02:20 @00:54:18

[@AlCapone-uo9mi]

It could be a backup for a reanimate deck. Or Nethervoid stax

[@daneofdanger]

You know, I'm something of a dark ritual enthusiast myself!

[@johnmichaelbushman]

Obligatory "ITS THE HASH SLINGING SLASHER!!!!"

[@pegab21]

Shouldn't this deck be an "ancient tomb black stomp deck"?

[@JoeKell365]

why the one-of Snow basic? that's the only decision that doesn't make sense to me

[@IzidioAlex]

So many Mono Black that I think the channel logo should change Thalia to Gisa

[@llamarama6976]

Wizards really just made micheal myers as a card and its perfect no notes

[@brokentablespodcast]

Omg... Could you force this into Manaless Dredge somehow?

[@G.Aaron.Fisher]

37:17 It feels weird mainphase fetching surveil. But I think you need to here to grow the Stalker. Unfortunately it ended up being extremely relevant.

[@Reversespacehippie]

Obligatory algorithmic contribution

[@tuesday3477]

how do you feel about rotting regisaur in this shell?

[@MinstrelSauce]

Good question, why don't we see it more in general?

[@tuesday3477]

@@MinstrelSauce It's a bad card lol but it makes me smile to think of the possibility of 4x cavalry 4x regi 4x slasher

[@adambeale3596]

​@@tuesday3477 register + metamorphosis fanatic can also be fucking nutsobusto

[@brandonguffey5959]

On paper a three mana 7/6 is strong but in practice the card disadvantage isn't worth it. For the same mama cost you can have a barrowgoyf giving you card advantage instead. I love rotting regisaur and wish it was just a week bit more viable lol​@@MinstrelSauce

[@Dragostorm21]

​​@@MinstrelSaucepaying 3 mana to go down 2 card VS common removal is not a good idea

[@kaiseremotion854]

I hate this card in limited

[@colinpatton1541]

hey it's mahfuz!
