I know people who have literally no Madness cards in black so they can't even get the black Madness objective. True, they could play Sarkhan, but they can't afford him, and he isn't available to buy anyway.

What you're doing is complaining that you can't complete the objectives efficiently with a deck not designed to complete objectives. I know I had great fun playing my werewolf and vampire decks. 5th place in my platinum bracket was about 20+ points from the max, so you could literally not do any madness and still comfortably place in top 5. I didn't do every madness(you're right, black has limited madness cards) and still easily held top 5. If your deck was themed correctly in the first place, your vampires and werewolves would be cast instead of storing cards in hand till you could draw that one card you put in just for the objective. You would have fun, not die of boredom waiting. You made a deck choice to not play the theme, and then complain about the theme being boring for you. By the way, you're leaping at shadows that don't exist. I played against many black decks, and not surprisingly... Decks trying to do vampire objectives don't put in zombies that lock the game. Try it next soi event. I would still avoid red though. Too many problems.
