Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Creatures (4)


Sorceries (7)

Instants (2)


Enchantments (2)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


How to Play

So many triggers that your opponent will be down to zero in a hurry. Cuthroat into Liliana into cliffhaven. Drop a Qarsi Sadist and sac to itself. Flip Liliana and do it again to gain 6 and deal 10 damage. With just dropping a Sadist after playing Liliana, it's an 8 point swing. Play a kalastria Healer into a cliffhaven and drop an Oath for a 6 point swing. Every card in he deck synergizes well with all of the others. There is just so much power in this deck from both Gideon's, Liliana, tons of lifegain and so many machine gun damage triggers. Let me know what tweaks you would make. I'm a bit unsure of the side board.

I've been play testing a similar deck for a couple weeks, and it's killing, the main difference being I run mono-black and rely more on sac, reanimation, and creature destruction. It really only dies to Atarka red due to the speed and all the tiny creatures that are inefficient to kill. I, too, SB Minister of Pain against it, but it just never works out because Atarka is used to boiling earth.
As I said, I go mono-black in mine in order to get the BB mana cards (ruinous path, grasp of darkness, Kalitas, Ob Nix). I've found that you don't need the extra life gain that white offers, especially if you add Kalitas. With Liliana's ult and Kalitas, I devote at least 10 cards to creature destruction, which both gives time to curve out and benefit from your opponent's creatures. Duress (which you have) is great for control decks in order to get Lily and Kalitas out, but even if they get killed you can usually bring them back (corpse churn is surprisingly good).
Make sure you protect/reanimate your husks, as they keep your creatures out of exile.
Lastly, I love your addition of Sadist. I totally forgot about him. He'll totally go in my main board.
Anyway, here's my deck, if you want to compare:

p.s. check out the spoiled Relentless Dead. It's going to wreck.

Relentless Dead will fit great in an Aristocrat deck. As far as Atarka is concerned, that deck won't exist in standard in a month and in the mean time I'll just main board Languish and ministers for board control. Once Atarka runs out of steam and you board wipe, it's hard for them to recover. Duress can really hurt Atarka as well.
