A mid-range, control-y, (?) mono black deck to that can get your opponent to lose 100% of their HP through combat damage from Unstoppable Slasher, while Bloodletter of Aclazotz is in play. Of the wins that I've had, I feel that < 5% are from this combo directly.

Playing creature and hand removal, to choke out the opponent of cards, gets us ahead.

I'm mostly playing Bo1 on Arena, but occasionally playing Bo3.

Advice/feedback appreciated!

Latest Update: Tues Oct 29

Tues Oct29:

+1 Duress.

-1 Go for the Throat.

Sun Oct 27:

Removed: Rush of Dread. Sad face :( . It was only useful if bloodletter was on board. Felt like 3x dead card in the hand otherwise. It was really funny casting it and doing -100% HP though.

Removed: Shoot the Sheriff.

--- Last minute moved 2x Shoot the Sheriff to sideboard for Bo3 artifact decks...

Added: Anoint with Affliction.

Added: Virtue of Persistence. Late game, I was consistently dead in the water. Adding this to have some late game hail mary.

Added: One more Sheoldred, the Apocalypse.

Land changes: Swapped 2x swamps for 2x Fountainport.

Sat Oct 26:

Removed: Insatiable Avarice.

Moved to sideboard: Feed the Cycle.

Added: Shoot the Sheriff and Preacher of the Schism.

Swapped: 2 Swamp for 2 Demolition Field.

Successes & Struggles

Successes

Majority of the wins, when it happens, aren't even the -100% combo. Deep-Cavern Bat, Duress, Cruelclaw's Heist, and creature removal help slow opponent's early game.

Opening hand with Duress, Deep-Cavern Bat, creature removal, and Unstoppable Slasher has been good.

Getting rid of their enchantment control spells from their hand has been helpful.

Bo1 Struggles

Oh man...

White & Blue Enchantment Artifact stuffs have been my toughest match ups.

Blue artifact decks with Simulacrum Synthesizer are insanely, EXTREMELY, annoying. Once it's on the board, I am pretty much dead. No idea how to get rid of 3 artifact tokens that are 11/11 on turn 4 (end rant...).

Opponent getting Portal to Phyrexia onto the battlefield from graveyard.

The white artifact tokens deck is annoying.

White enchantment control.

Enchantments and artifacts have to be priority removed from Duress and Cruelclaw's Heist since I'm not running enchantment and artifact removal in main deck.

Changes I'm Considering

Adding: Sporogenic Infection to get around ward/hexproof?

What to run, Go for the Throat or Shoot the Sheriff?? Artifact decks destroy me.

Sideboard?

I mostly have been playing Bo1. I have played Bo3 a couple times from older variations on this deck. I will try a Bo3 this weekend.

I have Malicious Eclipse in token decks (???). Withering Torment for enchantment heavy decks. Dreams of Steel and Oil for artifacts. Render Inert for Urabrask's Forge (I will probably drop this from sideboard)...
