This is the deck I was taking to tournaments back when Tempest block was still in Extended. I was so in love with it that I couldn't bear to take it apart.It plays a bit closer in style to a Sligh deck, but with all the kill spells standing in for burn, than a traditional Hatred style Suicide deck. Hence the name.Nowadays it stands up okay in casual games, but it get's butt-stomped pretty hard by most standard decks. I'm thinking about updating it with some of the cards I always wanted in it, especially now that Phyrexian Negator s are so cheap.

If you don't know what a mono-Black Suicide deck is, let me quote Brian David-Marshall. "'Suicide Black' is the name given to a wide range of mono-black fast creature decks that try to win as quickly as possible. The term "suicide" refers to the deck's single-minded purpose of killing the opponent in the minimum number of turns without any back-up plan or concern for card advantage in the late game."

It's so straightforward that I really shouldn't have to explain more than that.
