I threw this deck together a couple weeks ago and it worked pretty well, so I thought I'd put it on here and try to get some suggestions to improve it.

The main theme of the deck is to take other player's creatures and sac them if you can't keep them. I've got quite a few cards to gain control of one or more creatures until end of turn, I feel that I'm lacking in sac outlets. Right now it's pretty much just Greater Gargadon and Altar of Dementia. I've got Conjurer's Closet in here as well so I can keep what I take.

I'm using Nin, the Pain Artist as my commander pretty much just to draw cards to reduce those slots in the deck.

This deck can be very evil, and very frustrating to play against. I really don't play it much, only when I'm playing against other evil decks.

The deck needed some changes, namely more sac outlets and more ways to take creatures. I also wanted something to make better use of Nin, the Pain Artist.

I had pretty much been using Nin just for card draw, which she is really good for, but needed something else. I added Stuffy Doll, which is great. Deal damage to an opponent of choice and draw cards... pretty nice, and if I have Conjurer's Closet out I can flicker him and choose a new opponent. I also added Overtaker and Chamber of Manipulation. Both make use of the extra card draw from Nin and give me a couple more ways to gain control of opponents' creatures.

I also added Roil Elemental, Word of Seizing. and Vedalken Shackles for more "borrowing" of creatures. As far as sac outlets I put in High Market, Goblin Bombardment, and Ashnod's Altar. Not exactly a sac outlet, but added Proteus Staff and it works great. Take their creature, put it on the bottom of their library, and then you get a free creature... pretty good deal, especially if the creature happens to be their commander.

Cards removed = Forgestoker Dragon, Izzet Staticaster, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, Perplexing Chimera, Windreader Sphinx, Jace, Architect of Thought, Devil's Play, Blood Moon, Conjured Currency, and 1 Mountain.
