This is my second and my only EDH deck. My first was a Scion of the Ur-Dragon deck that I hardly ever enjoyed. I dismantled it for a few key cards and created what you see here.

I love this deck and I'm very proud of it. It's fun to pilot and makes you feel like what you do is relevant and actually matters. The deck can be broken down as such:

Removal: This deck likes to run answers and usually I'll find more than a few throughout any given game. This ranges from spot removal, exile effects, and wraths. The removal suite also includes all of my sac shenanigans with Vish Kal, Blood Arbiter or any other given sac outlet/effect. Most of my removal is creature based but it does have ways to deal with other permanents. Ex.: Angel of Despair, Duplicant, Wrath of God, Martyr's Bond, Attrition

Recursion: Most of the creatures in the deck have a nice ability stapled to them that go along with each other. That being said, being able to recycle these creatures for repeated effects every turn is awesome. Ex.: Sun Titan, Reveillark, Karmic Guide, Phyrexian Reclamation, Animate Dead

Utility: This category includes the various support spells that keep the deck moving and keep it a well-oiled machine. Card draw, token production, acceleration, etc. - all help towards maintaining my board presence. Ex.: Suture Priest, Harvester of Souls, Aura of Silence, Bloodghast, Deathbringer Liege, Elspeth Tirel, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite

So there ya go. Hopefully this will be of help if you're looking for ways to beef up your B/W deck. If you have any suggestions, comments, questions, or whatever let me know.
