Sideboard

My problem with this deck is that I'm spending an awful lot of turns at the beginning, quite defenseless and building mana. Building mana is great, but not if you don't have much to use it on (such as protecting yourself or improving your presence or whatever). This is really fun, given the right cards and if your opponents ignored you for long enough, but I don't want to take the position of "don't look over at me, everyone else is a bigger threat!" for half the game.

I think the problem might lie in that I maybe don't have many creatures, and I certainly don't have many cheap ones (or at least I didn't), and quite a bit of reanimation (with not much to reanimate?) Aside from creatures, I don't think the rest of my stuff is particularly cheap either, but I'm not sure.

Or maybe I'm just imagining all this and I'm still a sucky new player (I am) :P

The idea behind this is just general mono-black fun, with a bit of a DESTROY ALL THINGS theme and a bit of reanimation.

I took out Sadistic Sacrament - not because it's not good, but because I'm kind of a new player and it takes me forever to decide what to exile. So much so, that when I draw it, I avoid playing it, making it a dead card. Definitely, definitely leave it in if you're more comfortable making those choices, though, because when I have used it, it's been a hell of a nuke.
