Basic Description

This deck is based on creatures that tap to deal 1 damage like Vulshok Sorcerer equipped with deathtouch artifacts like Basilisk Collar to work like unlimited removals and possibly damage dealers.

Master of Cruelties and Quietus Spike work as fast killers.

Be just careful when you accept an opening hand, 3 mana is vital for this deck.

Card Breakdown

(in alphabetic order)

• Basilisk Collar: Cheap and deadly. This equipment turns your tap-to-one-damage creatures into ultimate removals.
• Blood Cultist : It can target only creatures and it can't be used to deal damage directly to your opponent but with deathtouch this creature will get big fast and it will also stay out of Doom Blade's reach.
• Cunning Sparkmage : Tap to one damage with the advantage of the ability to use it the turn it hits the battlefield.
• Dreadbore: Planeswalkers removal that can also help against creatures.
• Lightning Crafter: This creature is a strong damage dealer and can champion the many shamans in this deck.
• Master of Cruelties: Once the board is clean this cards says "Game Over".
• Prodigal Pyromancer : Basic tap-to-damage creature.
• Quietus Spike : Gives deathtouch to your creatures and, after you wiped the board of opponents makes them deadly finishers.
• Terminate: The best creature removal. Period.
• Virulent Swipe : If you don't have your deathtouch equipment on the board or just need some more deathtouch creatures this Instant will give you 2 turns of deadliness.
• Vithian Stinger: Basically a Prodigal Pyromancer with the upside of possibly having it enter the battlefield from the graveyard to deal that last damage.
• Vulshok Sorcerer : The best tap-to-damage creature. A Prodigal Pyromancer with haste.

Sideboard

• Glaring Spotlight: If your opponent runs hexproof creatures your creatures won't be able to work as removals anymore. This cheap artifact fix the problem.
• Lightning Bolt: A deck with that doesn't run Lightning Bolt feels just wrong.
• Sword of Feast and Famine: If your opponent is running not so many creatures include this to start dealing real damage to him earlier.
• Tragic Slip : Cheaper than a Terminate and if your creatures work as they should it will work just the same. Useful when your enemy is running so many creatures you need to remove them the old way or against creatures with protection from red.

Maybeboard

• Gorgon Flail : cheaper than Quietus Spike if you only care about deathtouch but I feel the spike's ability of halve the opponent's life is worth the extra mana.
• Guttural Response : We all hate Cancel I just don't feel like removing anything to put this in sideboard.
• Illusionist's Bracers: Hit for two every turn may not be that bad!
• Inferno Titan: Amazing but way too mana expensive.
• Kamahl, Pit Fighter : Nice but a bit expensive on mana for a creature that will die to an Electrickery
• Lightning Reaver : Basically a board wipe at end of turn for your opponent. It's out just because of the mana cost.
• Olivia Voldaren: More expensive than Blood Cultist but well worth the cost. I might add it to the mainboard soon.
• Onyx Mage : Deathtouch source way worse than Basilisk Collar or even Gorgon Flail .
• Rakdos Ickspitter : Same as Blood Cultist but it deals damage to your opponent instead of becoming bigger. It's a matter of tastes and I prefer the cultist.
• Rakdos, Lord of Riots : Easy to cast for this deck and good damage dealer it's out just because it doesn't fit the flavor.
• Rogue's Passage: May let you sneak some Quietus Spike damage even before the board is clean but I don't see it fit in this deck.
• Royal Assassin: Nice remover that is not red (while everything else in this deck is) and doesn't require deathtouch, on the other hand, it requires that the creature is tapped, a bit too much for my tastes.
• Undying Evil: Just say no to creature removals!

Here is a list of other decks I built

Modern

• Aim for the Heart: burn deck that wins by trowing huge damage to your opponent's face
• Smash, don't think: fast aggro deck
• Scepter of Command: total control deck based on Isochron Scepter
• Dark side of the Scepter: more fun version of the deck above. Same mechanics, more flexibility.
• A pariah will save us: combo deck that aims to making you invulnerable to damage.
• Realm of Illusion: budget illusions deck.

Legacy

• Ping of Death: control deck that aims to deal a small but steady ammount of damage each turn
