This deck focuses on using cypher to extort opponents. Being all black, Ring of Xathrid is used for the pump and resurrect abilities. Tormented Soul is included due to being unblockable. Gift of Orzhova was include to assist in ensuring that cypher dealt damage to the opponent. Crypt Ghast is used for mana acceleration and extort.

In the Sideboard, Blood Reckoning is included in case I duel a Boros or a Selesnya deck. Illness in the Ranks is specifically included to oppose Selesnya decks.
