Welcome to kill spell tribal!

Falling into the role of mono-black control, the main plan is to just be CreatureKill.dec and then win with commander damage from all the +1/+1 counters our favorite non-binary vampire gets. We're running the full black removal package and then some, with Doom Blade , Murder , Hero's Downfall , Go for the Throat and more along with sweepers like In Garruk's Wake , Damnation , Decree of Pain . Things like Grave Pact and Dictate of Erebos give you even more value for the creatures you're saccing to Yannei anyway. Rogue's Passage , Key to the City , and Whispersilk Cloak help them get in for the finishing blow once the dust has settled.

Other handy synergies include Forbidden Orchard and Illness in the Ranks . Blood Artist and similar are the backup plan to win as a sort of Aristocrats deck. The other alternate plan is just to Exsanguinate X 14 or sommat and just value out.

The deck still needs a little work I think, but it's made a good showing so far in my play group. I could see it being pretty bad to say the least in a creature light meta, but luckily I don't really have one of those to contend with.

Some of the maybe board I know definitely needs to go in, but I'm just leaving it there while I figure out what to cut for it. If y'all have any suggestions on that be my guest.
