I built Kaervek to make for quicker EDH games. Almost every card in here hurts every opponent in some form or another. Essentially, I built a multiplayer bleeder deck. There are lots of cards that are guaranteed to cause damage every turn no matter what. It's all about making the games go more quickly. That and it really is a blast to play. Anything I play is bound to make some sort of impact, so I enjoy it.

Also, I've added in a pretty serious subtheme of Howling Mine effects along with Vicious Shadows, Underworld Dreams, Kederekt Parasite , and Psychosis Crawler and plenty of multiplayer Black Vise cards like Viseling , Iron Maiden , and Skullcage .

More big changes. I needed more mana, so I stole the Mana Vault from my Spirit of the Night Deck and added in a Thran Dynamo as well. To make room for the mana rocks, Dread Cacodemon came out (it costs a billion) and War Elemental too, because it's never as good as you want it to be (that quote courtesy of Rhadamanthus). I also replaced one of the basics with a Molten Slagheap.

I managed to snag a Mondronen Shaman  Flip, which fits beautifully. I also got Spiteful Visions, Temple Bell and Bloodgift Demon to help out the card-drawing subtheme. As anticipated, Skullcage didn't make the cut. Syphon Mind, as much as I love it, is counterproductive here. Deathcurse Ogre is pretty lame too, so out he came. Urza-s-Armor came in to help keep me alive long enough to burn everyone else out, so I pulled out a Syphon Soul. It hurt, but it's just a one-shot damage/lifegain spell that I can cast every turn with the Urborg Syphon-Mage.

And finally, I knocked out the Breath of Darigaaz in favor of a full-on Earthquake, because being able to scale that seems much better than only having 2 options.
