I wanted to make a deck that simply doesn't care. And here it is! Shadows just attack without givin' a dam about what is going on around them. You don't have to worry if your creatures will get blocked and massacred or what creature you are going to sacrifice to block that 11/11 Blightsteel Colossus anymore; your creatures don't give a dam about either! A simple, cheap, casual deck that works best in 1v1.

Use your removal as your defense instead. Why Dash Hopes? It's a black counter spell! What if your enemy can counter it by paying 5 life. Against a mono-black deck life is the last thing you want to give away. Totally worth it, while late game is a definite counter spell making sure you will land the killing blow unhindered.

Things didn't go your way? Playing versus hard control or mill deck? Immortal Servitude is here to save the day (if it doesn't get countered). It's actual cost is 5 mana. Yeah, you can bring every single one of your shadow creatures back (except the fat one) with just this card. Gather your army of shadows at once and win the match alongside your fattened Dauthi Warlord.

Irony of the day; Immortal Servitude's flavor text reads "The fine print of countless contracts has ensured we are never defenseless." and you use it to bring back creatures with shadow. SHADOW.

Underworld Connections is your main drawing thing. Phyrexian Arena could be used instead of it IF YOU ARE TRYING TO KILL YOURSELF. Underworld Connections is a nice card I use in almost all my decks. In this deck it's even better cuz you are not going to need that one mana. Just look at dat mana curve! Infernal Scarring is a nice way to buff your creatures while having a plan B if the enchanted creature gets killed. Just put 1 or 2 of those on your Nether Traitor and look at your opponent wasting his removals while you are preparing to land your Stronghold Overseer and seal the game.

So what do you guys think of this deck. Have I done good? Can it live up to the EXPECTATIONS? Leave a comment with your feedback and suggestions! :D
