Mox is analysing…
Korlash, Heir to Blackbladefinisher$2.97A black mana-sink creature that grows repeatedly and becomes a huge threat, similar to Nantuko Shade's scalable pressure. It also rewards heavy black mana access.Mardu Shadowspearutility$0.22An aggressive black creature that benefits from attacking and maintains pressure in a similar mono-black tempo shell. It is cheaper and serves as an efficient threat rather than a pure pump sink.Bloodghastfinisher$1.50While it doesn't pump itself, it is a recurring black threat that fits the same aggressive black deck role and pressures life totals over time. It is a strong budget-friendly black creature option.Gifted Aetherbornutility$0.35A double-black creature in the same slot that stabilizes the board and can attack well, often fitting the same black midrange curve. It trades scaling for immediate board impact.Phyrexian Obliteratorfinisher$10.38Another double-black creature that can dominate combat and function as a must-answer black finisher. It is much more expensive, but fills the role of a heavy black payoff threat.Abyssal Persecutorfinisher$2.34A large black beater that delivers fast clock pressure similar to a pumped Shade. It is less flexible but can end games quickly for a similar aggressive strategy.Knight of the Ebon Legionfinisher$1.96A scalable black attacker that grows into a major threat with mana and combat triggers. It mirrors the 'small early, huge late' feel of Nantuko Shade.Hexdrinkerfinisher$11.32A mana-sink creature that scales into an enormous threat, much like Shade-style pump creatures. It provides a similar repeated investment-to-power gameplay pattern.
