Torment/Player's Guide deck
< Torment
The Torment Player's Guide was part of the Torment Fat pack. Unlike the Player's Guides from previous expansions, which included sample deck lists for all five colors, Torment's only had one: a monoblack deck. This was in keeping with the set's themes and was intended to demonstrate how new Torment cards could be utilized in Standard.
Swamp Fever
A monoblack Control deck.
| “ | Torment gives monoblack decks the chance to shine. With powerful creatures, discard spells and creature removal, this deck has all the tools you need to defeat a wide range of strategies. Nantuko Shade can do a lot of early damage while you stay ahead in hand size thanks to Duress, Mind Sludge, and Phyrexian Arena. The discard spells also help keep dangerous enchantments off the table. Soon, your creatures should lower your opponent’s life total so much that you can end the game with a single Corrupt or devastating Nightmare attack. Even creatures with protection from black are no problem thanks to Chainer’s Edict (the new Diabolic Edict) and Mutilate (the black Wrath of God). Show those do-gooders the true power of evil.[1] | ” |
