A deck designed around the concept of winning fairly fast while not caring about my life total. Mesmeric Fiend and Duress get rid of threats. Snuff Out and Geth's Verdict get rid of creatures. Gitaxian Probe lets me see if my opponent has anything really threatening and thins the deck. Mutagenic Growth can protet my creatures from removal, get rid of blockers, or trade 2 of my life for 2 of my opponent's life. Everything else hits hard and fast.

I'm not sure whether or not Darkness is legal in this format. If it isn't, I'll probably replace it with more storm or graveyard hate.

So far I haven't encountered problems using Snuff Out as spot removal, but I haven't been playing against creature-heavy decks.

It really seems like I should have Dark Ritual in this deck, and I'd like opinions on that subject.

I'm considering Undying Evil, Unearth, or Skeletal Grimace to safeguard myself against removal.
