Hello all!
I’ve been brewing [[Moseo, Vein’s New Dean]] and have some questions about ramp in mono black on a budget.
TLDR: should I just run 40+ swamps?
If the play pattern is to drop something like Gifted Aetherborn on turn 2 and then Moseo turn 3, is it worth running “ramp” the same as in some other decks?
I can see something like [[k’rrik, son of yawgmoth]] on turn 4, but if I’m not running rituals and basically topping out the mana curve at five, is it worth trying to run ramp outside of something like [[Millikin]] which also fills the Graveyard.
For turns 4, thinking a combination of things like Syr Konrad or Pox to play a Grindy game to drain the table and some budget sac options that gam life like [[Vampiric Rites]]. I’d like to add things from newer sets like [[Twilight Diviner]] and [[South Wind Avatar]] and while I definitely want to hit my land drops, I am struggling to figure out if this really needs 37 lands plus 8 or so pieces of ramp? Is it 40-42 lands and a couple four mana ramp options like K’rrikk
Anyone else have a deck with a similar play style /mana curve who has any thoughts?
