This is an aggressive deck that borrows ideas from several "staple" decks.

The core of the deck is very similar to suicide black, an aggro list that primarily leverages high power one drops (like Carnophage), black's excellent disruption sweet of spot removal (like Fatal Push) and hand attack (like Hymn to Tourach), and has a "theme" of using it's life as a resource for board presence and card advantage. A few problems that deck can run into is that is very linear, it has trouble interacting effectively with certain strategies, it can run out of gas very quickly, and some of it's top end threats are somewhat weak. These flaws contribute to making the list vulnerable to games where it cannot close out fast enough.

This list attempts to fix that by borrowing the idea of "Blue Moon", a mostly blue deck that lightly splashes red for a few strong cards, primarily Blood Moon, which it can run with little consequence due to being able to run a lot of basic islands for it's blue mana. This deck splashes into red so that it can get even more disruption such as Blood Moon (and it's creature variant Magus of the Moon) as well as some better high end threats like Goblin Rabblemaster and Falkenrath Aristocrat. The deck is able to do this by having a high density of swamps and by having most of your limited nonbasics in the deck to tap for red mana, both making blood moon relatively painless for you, and allowing to cast the black-heavy creatures in the two and three slots.

The deck also has an aristocrats sub-theme, leveraging the recursion abilities on many of black's aggressive one and two drop creatures and the token creation of some of the more powerful three drops to either protect your big threats like Immersturm Predator, or to draw cards with cards like Skullclamp.

Overall, the list attempts to retain the aggressive nature of suicide black while making it more resilient and interactive in longer games with a light red splash.

As of writing, this is the point spread for this deck:
Black Lotus - 7 Mox Ruby - 3
