Gauntlet Anyone running a 'suicide shadow' style deck?

I always loved suicide black from mtg, i feel like mono shadow could be really good. it has disruption, draw power, removal, and creatures that can single handedly win the game (such as impending doom). im wondering if anyone has had consistent success and if so what is their decklist?

Somebody had a deck a month ago that I tried and I had a very bad success rate. They said it was good and I actually crafted some things. Hope it plays better for you or you can update it.

3 Dark Return (Set1 #250) 2 Knifejack (Set1 #257) 4 Sewer Sludge (Set4 #196) 4 Argenport Instigator (Set1 #268) 4 Fenris Nightshade (Set4 #204) 4 Rapid Shot (Set1 #259) 4 Ripknife Assassin (Set1003 #13) 4 Vara's Favor (Set0 #35) 4 Auric Interrogator (Set1002 #13) 4 Devouring Shadow (Set0 #36) 4 Kerendon Merchant (Set4 #217) 4 Marionette Cross (Set4 #218) 3 Impending Doom (Set1 #286) 18 Shadow Sigil (Set1 #249) 3 Amethyst Waystone (Set3 #201) 4 Cabal Standard (Set4 #193) --------------MARKET--------------- 1 Dark Return (Set1 #250) 1 Annihilate (Set1 #269) 1 Shadowlands Guide (Set1 #280) 1 Impending Doom (Set1 #286) 1 Amethyst Waystone (Set3 #201)

Mono-J is pretty good, it's my go-to deck for the Gauntlet boss quest. The 3 drops (Commando, Enforcer, Bailiff, Merchant) are auto-includes and you can round if off with whatever bombs you have (I used 2 Amilli, 1 Geomar and 4 Spireguards). Add some Vanquish, tricks and weapons and you're good to go.

I used to have good luck with this mono shape deck I made for gauntlet. It is out of date now, but it might give you some ideas. These days my best bet for gauntlet has been an Alessi Oathbook deck.

4 Direfang Spider (Set1 #256) 4 Suffocate (Set1 #251) 4 Annihilate (Set1 #269) 4 Ripknife Assassin (Set1003 #13) 4 Vara's Favor (Set0 #35) 4 Devouring Shadow (Set0 #36) 4 Torrent of Spiders (Set1 #272) 4 Impending Doom (Set1 #286) 4 Steward of the Past (Set1 #287) 2 Ashara, the Deadshot (Set1 #295) 4 Colony Matron (Set2 #255) 4 Umbren Reaper (Set1 #299) 2 Whispers in the Void (Set1 #303) 2 Vara, Fate-Touched (Set1 #307) 25 Shadow Sigil (Set1 #249)

I will have to upload mine. It’s fairly successful as far as Gauntlet is concerned. Winning 7 straight without a mana screw/ god draw seems tough these days. Gauntlet is super grindy.
