---

This Deck contains two aspects, early game aggro and midrange control.

Opening hand to look for: 1. Ornithopter 2. Island or Tranquil Cove and at least one of any other land, preferably Swamp or Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth but not another Tranquil Cove (three lands is best, but two will do to get things started) 3. Ensoul Artifact (two is best if you have a Darksteel Citadel in your hand)

Play Tranquil Cove first if you have it, followed by Ornithopter. On second turn place Ensoul Artifact on the Ornithopter, giving you a 5/5 flier that can attack (do it). Third turn; Throw out a Master of the Feast, or if you have it, putting a second Ensoul Artifact on a Darksteel Citadel is really nice (especially if that Darksteel Citadel came out first or second turn). You could also, and might wanna, throw some buffs like Molting Snakeskin or Aqueous Form (only if you need it!) on your Ornithopter and/or Darksteel Citadel for 5-10+ damage. Fourth turn is GG in best-case scenario.

Mid-Range control aspects are Extinguish All Hope from sixth turn on to leave (hopefully) nothing living (or unliving) on the field but Master of the Feast, Herald of Torment, and/or Darksteel Citadel+Ensoul Artifact . Dictate of Erebos to help control your opponent's pet population should they be removal happy or, heaven's forbid, have bigger creatures than you. Gray Merchant of Asphodel to do some life-loss and possibly needed life-gain based on your devotion to black (which can be significant with the number of permanents in here which require two Swamp) Whip of Erebos for a quick attacker or a hail marry life gaining blocker from creatures your opponent's killed. Font of Return in case your draws are stalling Font of Fortunes to help your flow with all the low drop spells Bident of Thassa to help draw cards and the in event that you need to force your opponent to be wide open for your turn. Athreos, God of Passage is a nice con to lower your opponent's life or get a creature back once it dies, it makes a wonderful ultimatum if that creature happens to be a Gray Merchant of Asphodel
