Description of deck by its author (quoted):
Finally, I will mention that even existing archetypes that are made
without rares can be interesting. To be honest, it's relatively easy to
build a competitive monoblack control deck without dipping heavily into
hard-to-find cards. The most pressing problem is finding a "finisher"
card once you have control of the game. Nantuko Shade and Riptide
Replicator are rare, and so is Mirari, which is used in tournament decks
to "Fork" cards like Corrupt for the win. Luckily, Prowling Pangolin is
a fine solution for the budget-conscious player.
The Pangolin is one of those cards that's best used when both options
are to your opponent's disadvantage. Most people can use a big 6/5
monster to thwack an opponent upside the head. If you're equally happy
for that opponent to lose two creatures, then you're really on to
something. If your friend Amy keeps staring at the Pangolin you just
played, stammering and changing her mind about what to do, you've just
played it at the correct time.
Here's my try at a monoblack deck, sans rares . . .
