Hello all. I'm trying to put togethere a multiplayer friendly deck to help and hurt people at the same time..

Some cards i was considering were:

necroplasm/pestilence: keep creature count low

head games: help out that opponent that can destroy a player iwth only 1 disenchant and 1 card,etc.. i know you've heard the complaint a million times :D

Do or Die: amazingly fun in multiplayer.
Withering Boon: blows peoples mind when you counter a spell with black.

i was also thinking about using royal assassin and sorceress queen.. but wasnt sure..


any thoughts?

The first thing that comes to mind, is Bounce. Necroplasm and Pestilence take care of weenie hordes, so you need a way to remove big threats. Stuff like Boomerang, Recoil and Capsize can take care of those.

Then, if you have enough mana, you can use Head Games to return the threat to their library, so they have to draw it again. Or use the Withering Boon when they try to play it again (allthough, when playing UB you could probably pick some better counterspells)..

Do or Die doesn't really seem to fit into this plan; people are not going to have a tough choice if there is really only one creature they want to keep.

Just my 2 cents

By "MP friendly" I'm not sure if you mean a deck that will work in MP, or one that people wouldn't be terribly offended by.

My suggestions focus on the latter classification of black cards which some people might love, while others might hate - as opposed to cards which everyone else will hate (Warped Devotion, Megrim, etc.)

- Seizan, Perverter of Truth
- Night of Souls Betrayal
- Hex (super cool MP card. Fun to play)
- Dross Harvester
- Twilight's Call
- Shadow of a Doubt (this card is just fun)
- False Cure (take that life-gain mage)

Here are some black MP cards that are just damned effective:
- Syphon Mind
- Subversion
- Cabal Conditioning (prepare to be bitch-slapped though)
- Kokushu (duh)
- Gravepact
- Living Death
- Shriveling Rot

by MP friendly i mean things that wont make people try to kill me.
Subversion would be a bad idea, as would syphon soul or mind..
There are too many amazing multiplayer cards that are blue or white..
Hex might be a good one though...

ok heres what im thinking..
im dropping necroplasm so it wont kill my assassin..
pestilence also murders my 1/1's so thats a no go..


Some of the Iffy cards, i could simply run 2:
2 head games
2 Do or Die:
2 Withering Boon
2 Hex
2 Dauthi's Embrace
2 Mindslicer (if he dies we all drop hands, can be killed by assassin)
2 Sengir Autocrat (for multiple blockers mainly)

4 Lightning Greaves
4 Royal Assassin
4 Will o the Wisp
3 Sorceress Queen
3 Thrashing Wumpus

and i still have 8 more lots assuming i have nothing else..
im guessing they should be big creatures..
i was considering using the 2BB 4/4 first striker giant rabbit.. as long as any opponent has 1 creature, he never deals me damage..

i was considering running 4 ragged veins to do a single player in :D..
as well as ritual of the machine to steal their creature, or koskun falls to deal with
attackers as a black propaganda..

oh and the name of the deck? Jesse Jackson :D

Decree of Pain. Nothing screams government like Decree of Pain. It's like they took the adage:

The only thing certain in life is death and taxes
And turned it into a card. There's death with all creatures dying and taxes, you drawing cards....that and it's a probably the best creature control spell for multiplayer ever made.

well first off, if you are running mono black, I highly recommend that you use Cabal Coffers.

Some Black cards that really shine in Multiplayer :
Myojin of Night’s Reach
Underworld Dreams
Promise of Power
Consume Spirit
Mutilate
 

Killer Joe

Helpers:
Howling Mine (for drawing extra cards)
Empty the Catacombs (to return all graveyard creatures back to owner's hand)
Bad Moon with that black enchantment that makes all creatures in play black (obvious)
That Which Was Taken (make target permanants indestructable, for real friends only!)
Forbidden Orchard (give a brother a token)

Hurters:
You DON'T need help with this part :p

I agree with the decree of pain...It's probably the biggest shaker and mover.

If you don't mind that everyone is going to beat you down right away you could always drop Underworld Dreams....

Bottomless pit is nice and it works well with cards like phyrexian arena, dark confidant, and grafted skull cap...
