Also, this is a found deck, aside from a few commons that I had to purchase to finish off the theme of the deck. Decklist: https://www.moxfield.com/decks/UrR_SUluBkyY6t7AvelydA Deck idea: Have something to sac every turn Draft Chaff Hero (10 of them, and more creatures that can draw cards from stuff dying) Corrupted Convication Isocron Scepter (6 Draw 2s can go on this, and “we have the Tutes”) Night’s Whisper Skulltap Village Rites Turn 1 Fun Dark Ritual Chrome Mox Gemstone Caverns Mono black bribes, I mean payoffs! Cabal Coffers Nightmare Lash Bubbling Muck Ayara, First of Locthwain Dies to Doomblade Spark Harvest Bone Splinters Phyrexian Tribute Feed the Swarm Baleful Mastery Tragic Slip Don’t skip life day at the gym Aetherflux reservoir Gray Merchant of Asphodel Sangromancer Binning for fun and profit! Fel Stinger Morbid Opportunist Pitiless Plunderer Stronghold Assassin City of Shadows ($4.25 in 2015) Why am I not running skullclamp in here? That’s it, that’s the category. Keep your Win up! Sepulchral Primordial Syr Konrad the Grim Hatred Decree of Pain Summary This is a fun deck, it’s not super aristocratty, and maybe it should be. It’s a value deck, that can draw a ton of cards, and just find a way to win. It definitely has lots of room for improvement. Let us know what you think of the deck, and have a great rest of your day!
