@@RedLexLuthur Ayara is great. She also keeps your life total high if there are other burn players in your pod. But Syr Konrad + Morality Shift can easily deal 30+ damage to each opponent in one turn, and let you finish them off with some combination of Woe Strider, Bloodghast, Pox Walkers and similar effects into Dread Return for something like Canoptek Scarab Swarm or Gray Merchant to finish off anyone still alive. Konrad + Mind Crank can also just be GG. Whenever somebody mills a creature, each opponent takes 1 damage and mills a card. If anyone is playing a creature heavy deck, that can burn out the whole table in one cascade of damage.

13:05 I think this is a classic "who is the beatdown" mistake. If you had inevitability in this matchup, sure take the Ponder. But you don't, hence take the Swords that is going to blow up your orc / Sheoldred. This is a mistake that a lot of good players make: they're so used to playing control decks with inevitability, that when they play midrange-against-control and they don't have inevitability, they still play as if they have inevitability (when they should be playing as if they're the beatdown because that's how their deck lines up).

1:19 I feel like it should be noted contamination has one massive upside compared to blood moon - it hits basics. While contamination is in play, an opponent without artifact mana can never cast their nonblack spells - especially important in games 2 and 3 where they can use their early fetches to grab basics.

At 14:29 Force pitch Spell Pierce on Grief happens post Brainstorm which you think is a really strange play but it makes perfect sense to me. If Grief resolves it just takes force, so either way your down Force. The options here are to be with a Spell Pierce but facing down a Grief and giving up hand info, or to use the Spell Pierce as effectively 0 mana swords to Plowshares by pitching it. You could always hide force on top, but after Grief takes a card your so low on cards you can't really afford to Pitch Force anymore, especially sense your facing down 4 on board power.

Don't really consider this a mono-black prison breakthrough honestly. The contribution Contamination has in this deck list is miniscule. Bowmasters, Sheoldred, Grief, you're winning with those anyway without Contamination. In the decks current state, you would be better off dropping the Trolls and just playing Duathi Voidwalker, changing the 2x Bitterblossoms for 2x Tourach, Dread Cantor. I get wanting to make a card you love work, I really do. But Contamination's contribution is just not there in this build. I would lean more toward cards that turn Contamination's upkeep cost into attrition value. Something like Meathook Massacre would be have much more synergy, especially if you need a board wipe. With the token generation + contamination, it just works. Hell even Vraan, Executioner Thane would shine. I could even see slipping in one Lloth, Spider Queen.

I never liked Contamination, mainly because it doesn't address other mono-black decks, artifact decks, or even decks that access mana from sources other than land. It is boring when it works (winning is fun but better when it felt like more than a lucky draw), and it is a dead card (sometimes only partially) when it doesn't. That said, I used to have a Contamination deck back in the day. It was designed from the ground up to win vs other black decks, with Contamination and ways to sustain it built in to handle orher colors. Had discard to hit any instants that might remove it same turn. Worked well, got dismantled because it was not exciting to play or play against.

Hall of Gemstone is another fun one to run in Green, (it's abit more fair) it's an upkeep trigger, and get to choose color. So you are able use your colored lands in upkeep before choice. After that you are locked into a solid color for the turn.

10:39 Without any knowledge about future. Why not attack with 4/4 horde to face and 1/1 to narset ? If opponent wants to trade 4/4 he looses narset. If he kills 1/1 he can only chump or take 4 in which case horde becomes 5/5 next turn and you get another 1/1 from land so keeping monarch becomes quite hard. 1/1 can't block anyway and there is potential to gain something from that attack.
