This deck is disgusting...ly explosive.

The over all strategie here is to do what black does best: Use your life as a resource.

Get K'rrik out t4 or earlier and start the pain train.

Worryng about your life?

Your opponents got plenty of it. Soul Conduit and Magus of the Mirror will get it for you.

None of those cards in sight?

Go drag'em down to your misery with Repay in Kind or Tree of Perdition.

Need a life boost while casting cards?

Exquisite Blood will get you back in no time, Exsanguinate and Gray Merchant of Asphodel will even finish opponents most of the time while getting you fixed up.

Like living on the edge?

Go sit back in your bubble with Platinum Angel, Glacial Chasm or Eternity Vessel and wait for the right moment to bust/exchange lives of your enemies.

(I think the cardadvantage,ramp and removal cards speak for themselves and are not worth talking about them alot.)

Some things worth mentioning:

Blood Celebrant + K'rrik, Son of Yawgmoth is super dusgusting, cause you can generate {B} for 3 life out of no where. Had already had some fun paying 36 life (or less, depending on manabase, life etc.) to get Soul Conduit out, get my enemy low, my life back, my life back low and exchange for the next opponent.

Pestilence + Triskaidekaphobia ,Tree of Perdition + Triskaidekaphobia or any Extort will catch your opponents off guard most of the time. Extort will even generate 1 life for you, if you play against 3 opponents.

Stunning Reversal saved my butt many times and is a perfect set up to exchange life with an opponent afterwards. Platinum Angel will get you to life in negative numbers from time to time, Stunning Reversal will get you back to positive ones. ( usually you have to get back to 1 life due to lifegain if you want to stay in the game )

Well, thats most of the cards to talk about, small shenanigans like Bontu's Monument,Temporal Extortion, etc. can be replaced by cards of your choice if you want to build a similar deck.
