Getting into the night
One of the card’s that I’ve already seen mentioned regularly by a number of readers for use with Toshiro Umezawa was another legendary card from Champions, Night of Souls’ Betrayal.
《魂の裏切りの夜/Night of Souls’ Betrayal》
The first mention of Night of Souls’ Betrayal I really noticed came in the forums. One member, Vaebn, quickly noted that a Night of Souls’ Betrayal could kill 1/1s from a Forbidden Orchard and thus trigger a Toshi basically at will. It shocked me back to my notes I had prepared when I began working on Toshi; my double-underlined listing of Night of Souls’ Betrayal had somehow failed to make it to the final cut in my Toshiro Umezawa article, and I guess I must have felt I owed the card its just due. Deep in my subconscious, ideas for using the legendary enchantment started to take root.

Wrapping Up and bonus fun
I’ve long been a fan of mono-black control, and so many of the cards that just work wonderfully in a controlling deck are also great during Night of Souls’ Betrayal. A card like Echoing Decay becomes even better at killing creatures (extending now to 3 toughness), Barter in Blood has less “little” guys to mess around with, and the “big finishers” still pack a lot of wallop. Here is one take on such a deck:BLACK NIGHT CONTROL
Creature (15)
4 Greater Harvester
2 Seizan, Perverter of Truth
3 Duplicant
2 Kokusho, the Evening Star
4 Solemn Simulacrum
Sorcery (5)
1 Beacon of Unrest
4 Barter in Blood
Instant (8)
4 Echoing Decay
4 Rend Flesh
Artifact (8)
4 Wayfarer’s Bauble
4 Chrome Mox
Enchantment (3)
3 Night of Souls’ Betrayal
Land (21)
1 Shizo, Death’s Storehouse
18 Swamp
2 Stalking Stones
60 Cards
There is a lot going on here. With four Chrome Mox and four Wayfarer’s Bauble to accelerate the deck, it can be pretty easy to get out a Night on turn three. In addition to that mana, Solemn Simulacrum steps up as a great way to stop the bleeding from attacking creatures while ramping you to your more expensive spells.
For elimination, there really are a great deal of cards at work together here. I’ve already mentioned how Echoing Decay and Barter in Blood work during the Night, but the other elimination also becomes relevant. What few survivors there are can be mopped up by Rend Flesh and Duplicant. Greater Harvester ends up being a kind of pseudo-elimination spell by killing a blocker every turn – every turn, that is, unless the opponent wants to begin losing very quickly. With all of this death and destruction going down, the single Beacon of Unrest is there to make sure that you can bring back some of the choicest losses. Don’t forget to count your own Solemn Simulacrums among these.
I imagine you’ll have a great time trying out this deck. I hope that those of you who are going to be answering last week’s Toshiro Umezawa Challenge are able to come up with some good stuff. If you’re in the Chicagoland area, I’ll be seeing you at the Betrayer’s of Kamigawa Prerelease. Have a great time until then!

デッキ構築記事です。《梅澤俊郎/Toshiro Umezawa》のプレビュー（※１）において、コンボパーツが模索されていました。そこでは出てこなかったものの、その後読者に指摘された《魂の裏切りの夜/Night of Souls’ Betrayal》が今回の主役です。
最終的には、黒単コントロールという形になりました。対戦相手の生物を駆逐しやすくなる一方、自分のクリーチャーも死亡しやすくなるので、自分のクリーチャーはPIGもちを多くすることでデメリットを逆用しています。これに《梅澤俊郎/Toshiro Umezawa》と《禁忌の果樹園/Forbidden Orchard》のコンボを追加するのも面白いでしょう。
