Black and Green Golgari deck. Experience in 1 v 1 player should focus on scavenge Death's Shadow with Varolz, the Scar-Striped onto a Lotleth Troll for trample. In larger group games scavenge Death's Shadow on any creature and sacrifice with Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord. If opponent has a lot of creatures and you can't get damage through to them through combat, Essence Harvest a creature with a scavenged Death's Shadow . Experience versus a red deck with a turn 4 win curve, let you're opponent burn health as low as possible then put two Death's Shadow on the field and Essence Harvest . Experience versus a blue deck with control, the best way to deal with it is to get a Varolz out as soon as possible, and a Jarad. You have to scavenge a Death's shadow, and have enough open mana to be able to add Jarad's sacrifice ability to the stack at least twice to make sure it goes off.

I play casually with friends, so Demonic Tutor isn't really a big deal, but if you play in tournament or people you play against are butthurt, just replace them with mana.
