Pretty simple concept, kill opponent's creatures by either triggering Assassin abilities or using sac-spells for hex proof creatures. The Erebos, God of the Dead, if played, will prevent them from gaining life back from Devour Flesh triggering. Quietus Spike are for heavy hitters when their field is clear or to suicide assassins for kill recycle with Scarblade Elite . Toshiro Umezawa helps out in recycling more kill spells if they have board presence when something dies.

This is still mostly a work in progress project, although I am trying to keep it close to tribal.

I do know this mainly works against creature heavy or decks that rely mostly on creatures as a win condition. Mill, I have no answer for and little answer for Burn-Aggro either other than trying to outrun them with field presence. Player hexproof will also be downfall, not sure if there is any particular black removal enchantment or things of that ilk to get around that.
