Deck Description

So this is my first real deck.. Be gentle :) Sideboard isn't done though, it consists of some cards I would find interresting/usefull in the deck.
Vintage and legacy-proof

Anyway.. This is a very fast deck, with some control and it can hurt like hell after a few turns.
___________________________
EXAMPLE (good draw):
You start with 1 x Nip Gwyllion and 2 x Edge of the Divinity.

First round you play Nip Gwyllion.
Next round you play 2x Edge of the Divinity. If the opponent didn't play a creature in his/her first round, the opponent will be on 13 health, you'll be on 27.
____________________________


Even with unlucky draws you will problary play something in the first rounds, and you should be able to just let your creatures suck dmg (die) till you get what you want.

Also, Liege is the only expensive card in the deck :)

Zealous Persecution could be nice for this. all your creatures get +1/+1 and all enemy creatures get -1/-1 until the end of the turn

While I agree that the advantage gained from that card is quite nice, I asure you that most times it's played I'll be thinking of how I would wish that I had drawn another creature/enchant instead.

It could be possible that I would consider using it in my sideboard, as for removal of creatures with the toughness of 1 or the likes. But I'll see about that.

Thank you for your reply though, and please rate the deck :)

Black White beatdown. Very cool.

I would try to include an equipment or two. Enchantments are comparatively easier to remove than equipment (they go with your creature). Think of it as a recurring aura.

Either that or drawing cards, like Night's Whisper, just in case your opponent manages to clear the board and you have an empty hand.

SB: If you are willing to spend a tad bit more, try Austere Command. Some graveyard hate wouldn't hurt either.

Thank you for the comment! As for equipments.. I won't trade Edge of the Divinity for anything else, as it's mulitcolour AND a very effective one-mana card. Shadow Lance is perfect for dumping mana into when you have no other cards to play. Also, both of these are auras which match my Evershrike.

Night's Whisper though.. Is a very very good card, and I'm gratefull you suggested it. I have to much life as it is, without anything to spend it on. They could possibly replace one of my Blind Hunters, one Evershrike and my Teysa.
