So an Imp walks into a Carnarium...

Okay okay, I guess its time to write an actual review of this deck.

It's bad gifts tribal! Through playtesting, this deck is surprisingly reliable and produces wins! Not to mention it's a super fun and interactive way to control players on the board. While Zedruu the Greathearted does have access to white and blue for some spicy gifts in those colors, we don't need all that. Black is where the gifts get dirty.

Running through the deck:

Sweepers: Blasphemous Act is an all around sweeper that combos well with Phyrexian Negator. Other sweepers include Deadly Tempest and Decree of Pain, a healthy amount for a game of commander.

Tutors: One of the early problems I ran into with this deck was obtaining the combo pieces needed to win. Fret not! Red/Black has you covered with Demonic Tutor, Gamble, Wishclaw Talisman, and Vampiric Tutor. Could we run more? Of course! But currently I think this is a healthy amount of tutor considering this deck has a lot of card draw potential.

Player Removal: Self-Explanatory, bask in its gory splendor- Insurrection;; Demonic Pact;; Forbidden Crypt/Immortal Coil + Tormod's Crypt/Rakdos Charm;; Captive Audience/Form of the Dragon + Profane Command;; Lich's Mastery/Nefarious Lich + Despotic Scepter/Chaos Warp/Telim'Tor's Edict

I could go on and on about the rest of the deck but I think it is pretty self explanatory. We have spot removal, draws, other ways to give, other hurtful effects that control hands and board, protection for Blim (We want the damage to go through every time), and more goofiness that Blim wants to use.
