This has been my favourite deck for a long time now but I don't own it IRL yet. I'm planning on buying it anytime soon, so I thought it would be a good idea to get some input on it first.

So basically this is a control deck loaded with a lot of discard, spotremoval and direct damage. Try to get rid of any noncreature threads while they are still in your opponents hand and remove the creatures either with the respective spells or your spotremovals on a stick aka creatures.

Every creature in this deck has deathtouch and additional effects. Having deathtouch was the main criterion for my creatures since it saves slots that otherwise would have gone to more Terminate effects. The additional effects range from cardadvantage (Baleful Strix) to contributing to the discard theme (Liliana's Reaver) to our main wincon (Master of Cruelties).

Chariot of Victory is there to provide first strike for Baleful Strix and Liliana's Reaver so I don't have to trade creatures to remove threats and because of the low equip cost. Trample is a nice addition for Liliana's Reaver and haste is always good, especially when used on Master of Cruelties followed by Blightning /Rakdos's Return or Liliana's Reaver with Liliana's Caress/Waste Not on the field (actually happens more than just once in a while and almost always catches my opponents off guard).

This deck's main wincon is casting Artful Dodge on Master of Cruelties, bringing your opponent down to 1 life and then either cast Blightning , Rakdos's Return or simply flashback Artful Dodge next turn to attack with Baleful Strix or Liliana's Reaver for lethal.
Considering all the removal in this deck, the burn/loss of life effects and that Artful Dodge has flashback, it is also quite easy do win without Master of Cruelties.

Please take the time to write a comment if you like the deck or if you think there are better choices then mine (with explanation pls). Hope you like it as much as I do, playtest it and you'll see how much fun it is :)
