Paper Pauper Mono-B Suicide Black/Removal-Hate
Notorious Shenanigans: I dare you to block or use removal.

---

No Lives Matter

• Pretty much everything in this deck wants to die.
• If you have to, use your -drops as blockers to control the board until you get your real attackers out. Otherwise, swing out. Swing into big things because often your opponent will avoid killing your creatures out of fear of their ETG-triggers (Enter The Graveyard).
• With all the draw and a bit a of recursion that this deck has, you can also afford to multi-block bigger threats. You'll get extra value out of your own creatures dying, you'll remove a threat _and_ you'll probably replace them real soon.

The Sacrifices

• The Fester Squad--Nudey, Gobbles and Mom Pukes--are essentially 2/2s for , and can also work as removal. Chump block a 2/2 with them and when they die, their ability goes on the stack. After combat damage give anything you want -1/-1, even your own Mortis Dogs, for instance.
• Perilous Myr is very similar, except it deals 2 _damage_, which is easier to avoid. However, it is "versatile" burn, meaning you can hit players and creatures alike with it.
• Soulcage Fiend and Mortis Dogs are the main threats, with the latter being best on attacking--remember Mortis Dogs gets the +2/+0 until end of turn, so you can cast Costly Plunder in your 2nd main phase and still reap full benefit of its death, if you have to.
• Dross Golem is the only creature you don't want to die, _but_ I have used it to bait an opponent into using removal on it, just to Resourceful Return it to my hand and recast it that same turn, so, either way really. It has conditional but useful evasion, which can act as an alternate wincon against some decks, as well. It typically gets cheaper as the game progresses. You'll never cast it for full price.

The Sac' Outlets

• Costly Plunder. That's it. That's your only sac outlet, deal with it. Oh wait, never mind, sorry. There's one more...
• Attack & blocking. Seriously, attack aggressively every chance you get. Swing out recklessly, keep the fewest, most effective blockers back (like a single Soulcage Fiend), and literally _force_ your opponent to kill your creatures for you.
• _Then_, if all else fails, _then_ use Costly Plunder, to surprise your opponent and kill your creature anyway.

Fuel for the Fire

• Dark Ritual accelerates your spell-casting, allowing you to play a Turn 1 Soulcage Fiend, a Turn 2 Mortis Dogs, or to pump a Howl from Beyond beyond expectations.
• Radiant Fountain offsets life lost from your own Soulcage Fiends.
• Costly Plunder, as mentioned above, can be used to get extra value out of stubborn opponents that won't kill your creatures for you. Sac' something tasty as an additional cost to cast it (meaning no one can "respond" by removing the creature _before_ you sac it), and draw extra cards.
• Infernal Scarring makes killing your creatures even more necessary/distasteful for your opponent and adds to draw power.
• I could use Raise Dead, but instead I'm using Resourceful Return because it can also draw me a card. The artifacts are Vault of Whispers (of course), Perilous Myr and Dross Golem.
