I wanted to build a deck around Dictate of Erebos.

I figured B/W was the best color combination to accomplish that. I needed sacrifice outlets as well as at least a moderate amount of creatures to keep my opponent's board clear when I sac'ed them with Dictate on the field. I combined this sacrifice archetype with the human aggro archetype because this allows me to jam a bunch of creatures as well as get a lot of value from cards like Xathrid Necromancer creating a lot of tokens. Elspeth, Sun's Champion is a natural top end as it makes numerous tokens to combo with Dictate and a sac outlet. Gild helps me get there with the token it gives to ramp up to Elspeth. Undercity Informer is an iffy, yet interesting choice. It is a human and a sac outlet although you must pay 1 to sac. You can also ruin your opponent's scrys as well as the 2/3 body can be relevant vs aggro. I'm willing to believe he may not be perfect for the deck, but I'm also willing to try him out and see.

All in all a fairly straightforward idea for the deck. Go aggro on your opponent, and if he is able to stabilize with larger creatures, you are able to wipe his board by sacrificing your (hopefully) superior numbers with Dictate of Erebos out.

This is still somewhat in the ideas stage (as Journey to Nyx isn't out quite yet) so give me some feedback if you believe I can improve the deck or the sideboard. And if you like the deck, feel free to upvote it.
