A super aggro Black deck. It plays really fast, has a bunch of recursion to fuel the board. Night Market Lookout is an all star... Ya I said it... In the early game you don't want to blow a good removal spell on him and by the time you realize it he has done 6 to 8 points of damage and gained me some life. Heart of Kiran is back baby! I am open to thoughts and suggestions!!

*strong text Went 4-0 this weekend. The deck was so sick!

Match 1 - B/W Tokens - Good match up but I was able to keep removal on his annointer priest so he couldn't gain life and he was forced to chump his tokens away. Heart of Kiran was too much for him in both games and I ran him over.

Match 2 - Grixis Pirates - I was able to use the recursion with Dread Wanderer and Scrapheap Scrounger to win out. I wiped the board and then kept answering his creaturesand recuring. Ruin Raider helped with value and out drawing. These games were very close and a tough matchup.

Match 3 - G/R Dinos - These games were quick. I out paced the opponent and it was short work.

Match 4 - U/B Pirate Scarab God - I got game 1 with pure speed. He didn't have time to get much out before I overwhelmed him with 1 drops. Game 2 I sided in Lost Legacy and was able to hit Scarab God turn 3 and Hostage Taker turn 4 and he scooped.
