Black's own little Skullclamp that you can only use once, but don't need to worry about artifact hate
It's my list so I get to do what I want
First, the champion, playing Mono-Black Necro Control: Creatures (7) Lands (23) Spells (30) 4 Nevinyrral's Disk 1 Hymn to Tourach 4 Necropotence 1 Ivory Tower 4 Dark Ritual 4 Drain Life 3 Stupor 2 Mind Warp 3 Contagion 1 Serrated Arrows 2 Demonic Consultation 1 Zuran Orb Sideboard Then, in third place, representing the aggro decks of the format, Brian Hackers Bad Moon Necro: Creatures (19) Lands (21) Spells (20) And then finally carrying on the fine tradition of B/r Necro-decks, Chris Pikula, who actually increased the red presence in the deck with Incinerates and multiple maindeck Shatters (Winter Orb, Howling Mine, Serrated Arrows, even Black Vise, Ivory Tower, and Zuran Orb were worthy targets)
I was able to prey on his Bench by using multiple Bosss Orders to take KOs on a Crobat V and a Bibarel before finishing off his lone Ice Rider Calyrex VMAX for game and match
its the very definition of mid
This makes it easier to both connect in combat with your other Slivers and also not take a big chunk of damage on the crackback
