His Mono Black deck obviously has a lot of room for improvement, but I'm always for gently helping out a newer player. Maybe he'll even borrow some cards from me in the not-too-distant future. Phyrexian Crusader? More Plague Stinger? More Ichorclaw Myr? Supernatural Stamina? Bone Splitter? (Black's pump spells are mostly meh in Modern.)

Creatures (13)
4 Blighted Agent
