Suicide Black Primer (Part 2 of 2)

What, like when to use Sinkhole over Hymn? OK, I will look into it. But you did read the section where I discussed Sinkhole vs. Hymn against Mono-Blue right?

Anyway, I think I know what you mean, I'll see what I can do.

I'll just do a quick chime in.

Most of the time, you'll want to sinkhole over hymn. Aside from the fact that a misdirected hymn is much more devestating than a sinkhole, hurting their mana base stunts their developement much more than making them discard. Of course, late game, go for the Hymn, but early on if forced to make that decision I would go for Sink

Legend : If you were to maindeck a form of creature removal, what would you put in?

In response to Wobble:

Shade and friends require less disruption to win with than the original Zombie lineup did.  Therefore, that extra mana that would otherwise be used for disruption goes straight to the Shade and smashes for as much damage in 2 turns that a Zombie would do in 4.

The reason that I originally was against Legend's creature mix was that the Zombies allowed you to have more creatures, whether or not they are actually as good individually as Legend's men.  The Abyss doesn't like a horde, and if I can force them to Balance just from the Zombies then I'm in good shape.  Now I know that in most cases I'm wrong  .

OK, I have made all the necessary corrections, taken all suggestions, and cleaned up the primer using the manadrain.com's editing function. Zherbus will be posting it officially later tonight, thereby closing the review period.

Thanks to everyone for their good suggestions and helping to make this such a good primer.

It is done.
