Zombie producer, heroic trigger, black control.Auras. I really want input! 3rd at FNMIdea:

-Control with Hero's Downfall, Lifebane Zombie, and Thoughtseize as well as forcing sacrifice with Agent of the Fates and Desecration Demon

-Attacking with Tormented Hero and Agent of the Fates buffed with Gods Willing and Auras

-Triggering heroic Direct Damage with Tormented Hero

-Producing distractions and overwhelming them with creatures with Xathrid Necromancer and Ajani, Caller of the Pride is also used for distraction, buffing, and surpassing their defenses.Erebos, God of the Dead to remove lifegain, plus indestructible is just nice.

Total idea is to remove all their stuff by discarding, sacrificing, and evasion plus buffing to speed up the process.

You can turn 3 it:

Turn 1 Tormented Hero

Turn 2 Deviant Glee Ethereal Armor 2 DD from Heroic, Swing 6 (Total 8)

Turn 3 Dark Favor Ethereal Armor 2 DD, Swing 15 (Total 17) And if they have a creature you can use Gods Willing to get past it, still have the 2 DD and Swing 11 which is still Lethal turn 3.

If it last longer than turn 3, Agent of the Fates cleans up their creatures with all the other removal and it does't take long after that. Also why I added Gift of Orzhova for some lifegain safety.Went 7-1 deck testing tonight, mana got me which is why I added some two color lands.

Tonight in standard I got 2nd again! Updates haven't been every week because they've been alternating 2-headed giant standard.

I lost to white weenies. Had some land issues that match, went 0-2 against him, then we played a 3rd and I beat him. :)

Other decks I saw included a devotion to black deck, 2-0. Red deck wins, 2-1, and I think the other one was black... I don't remember because I 3rd turned him twice and won 2-0.

Thanks for the upvotes everyone, and for following. I'm putting up new decks soon. Much Love, ~Cler
