Just another riff on the standard mono-black deck going around. I wanted to make mine a little more aggressive than other shells.

Some lack-ofs are because this is mostly created out of what I've drafted on MTG:O and I'm not looking to actually buy cards which is why there's for instance a copy of Grisly Spectacle over Hero's Downfall and for the complete void of Thoughtseize - though I'm not sure thoughtseize does much more than I want out of Duress anyway given the removal suite.

I'd probably swap out the Gift of Orzhova for a complete playset of either Specter, Demon, or Rat too but so far in playtesting in casual rooms on MTG:O this deck is 8-0 for matches. If it doesn't 2-0 it tends to drop game 1 and then after boarding snap up easy wins games 2 and 3.
