Deck Description

-My Goal with this Deck is to get it to be a good fun Standard FNM Deck.
-Its doesn't exactly take your opponent down fast but enough card removal to keep you alive to get some momentum.
-Painful Quandary is the main win condition in this deck. Painful Quandary + Liliana Vess is God.
-I would like to make it a little more scary to fight, I don't think I put enough pressure I would like it to be a little more agressive.
-I am going to try this out at the FNM this Friday i'll see how it does

-If anyone has any criticism or suggestions for me to make this deck better please don't be shy and help me out. Thanks =D

Nice deck. The Royal Assassin/Lawkeeper is a nice classic style of play, but since you run it in full, is it really also necessary to run 4x Go for the Throat 3x Journey? You have heavy black in your mana base- try replacing some of your excess kill spells with Duress and Inquisition of Kozilek so that you can deal with non-aggro decks.

Surgical Extraction is useless against aggro decks. You remove all their Goblin Guides, and they proceed to kill you with Lightning Bolts. It should be a sideboard card for sure, though.

As a final note, you could always double up effects you like in the deck. Suture Priest can go alongside Blood Seeker, and 4x Tumble Magnets can be Gideon's Lawkeepers 5-8.
