They folks! So this is a deck I'm having a lot of fun playing. It's featuring very evasive creatures (some basically unblockable), some life sacrifice, some lifelink and the possibility of hitting your opponent in the face with a 20/1 creature around turn 2-3! Enjoy :)
The deck uses shadow creatures that can't be blocked by most creatures to ensure that you're able to deal damage to the opponent, and buff them with equipment which stays in play if they should be removed. There are two sword that can protect them from the most removal-heavy colours, and also to give additional benefits.
The main killer is Hatred, cast on unblockable creatures. It can occasionally end the game on turn 2 if you're lucky with your Dark Ritual draw, if not you only need one Dark Ritual in turn 3 to end the game.
There are a few lifelink creatures to ensure that your life total is higher than your opponents. Paying 2 life to play Vault Skirge is always a good turn 1 play (especially if it's buffed later by equipment). This is also helpful to help you stay alive throughout the later game if you're not able to finish off the opponent quickly.
Duress is used to protect your creatures, artifacts and enchantments from removal. Victim of Night is a good, cheap removal which can hit most black and non-black creatures, and Tragic Slip is great to kill early utility creatures or later, with setup, kill big indestructible creatures.
Abyssal Persecutor is an alternate win condition, which can come out in turn 2. Victim of Night and the Grafted Wargear equipment is a great buff that can kill him when you don't need him any more.
Necropotence is a great card advantage, and won't overstay its welcome because of lifelink, and Demonic Consultation will fetch you Hatred, Abyssal Persecutor or Necropotence to strengthen your position (or a land or dark ritual in a pinch).
The sideboard has more discards for creatureless or control decks, and and more creature removal in case of creature-only decks. Quietus Spike is in case if opponent with massive life gain, and very effective on
lifelink creatures.
Thank you for reading, and all feedback is appreciated.
